If El Ninio is affecting the atlantic like the pacific,your cobia are sunning somewhere off hatteras... in fact i recently read some cobia were being farmed off ecuador and are now off colombia and the west side of panama heading north. I don't see the problem taking root as far north as SD but it could generate an invasive population off mex and in the sea of cortez which could prove detrimental...
Out west we're already in september. went out last Sunday cuz we heard some nice bft were being caught near shore. ran out on buddy's whaler and scored this guy about 25 miles out on a slow trolled green mackerel. went 120 after bleeding.

Not trying to rub it in, but, the charter boats out of Hatteras and Oregon Inlet have been waxing the gaffers. There are also quite a few cobia around right now. However, regarding the cobia, the feds and state just changed to creel limit AND the season. Now it's 1 per person and you can only keep them on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday inside 3 miles! My boss caught one week before last that weighed approx. 60 pounds and had to release it!

I subscribe to Don Hammonds Dolphin research newsletter...here are a couple of his writings...
This has already been an interesting year of dolphin fishing from a scientific viewpoint. We have seen the fish show up earlier and peak earlier than in previous years. The downside was that they were not available nearly as long as they normally have been Note: I have been told that a Florida Marine Patrol officer reported that the Florida Marine Fisheries Commission will be discussing increasing the minimum legal size for dolphin from 20 inches fork length to 24 inches and reducing the daily bag limit from 10 to 5 fish per person. Edit: Received an e-mail earlier... __________________________________________________ ________________ To set the record straight, I have just heard from a spokesperson for the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, who reported that they do not have any plans or anything in the works on changing dolphinfish regulations. Just another case of dock talk. Good fishing, Don Donald L. Hammond Director Dolphinfish Research Program Cooperative Science Services, LLC 961 Anchor Rd.
