When I saw the weather report for today, I figure we could run for some cobia today, and boy were we right! I shevled a turkey hunt, and we were on the hunt for the brown bombers. Today I had Gary my neighbor along for the trip. Plans were to run to 18 ft to some excellent live bottom around a nice rock, and it didn't disappoint today. We did set out a chum bag, but the bite was red hot. It was the perfect time in the tide cycle. There was bait balls everywhere, and the fish were hungry. They hit everything we threw at them. Gary used one of those plastic eels, and the cobia wore it out.( I might get one of those things). We set out some live bait under my redi rigs, which allowed me to float out baits at 8 ft, and that was the ticket. The cobia were all over our baits. Gary went 3 for 3 and ended up with a 36in. in the cooler. I came in at 2 for 4, but boated a 28lber. We were done at 11 o clock, and cleaned up and headed in before the west winds got out of hand. The combined weight for the trip was keepers 28 lb., 20 lbs. Released fish were 17 lbs., 15 lbs, and 18 lbs. We enjoyed pulling in that almost 100 lbs of fish, and I sent Gary home with some sore arms!!
