3-25 Bluewater Cobia spearing report Plus Video

Bluewaterspearo · March 2012

Well the Cobia action continues with the cobia still being on the bull sharks. We had a awesome day last weekend....... For a bluewater hunter this is as fun as it gets! Nothing like seeing a bull come up to the flasher with a bunch of Cobia in tow. Here is a video My buddy just made to give you a idea what it is like. The adrenaline rush is addicting!

Hope you enjoy the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_8iI3Gls9U

a lot of blood in the water. i am surprised that one of those many bull sharks didn't attack a speared cobia. how close do you allow the sharks before leaving the water?

Yea it is important to hunt as a team and have another guy but a 2nd head shot in the fish. If the bulls start becoming too numerous and come up to the surface we will get out and move. BTW a lot of these sharks have jewelry (hooks) hanging off their mouths and line trailing them. The nice things is if you shoot them you can horse them in quick because the shooting line is 400lb mono, and have a back up shot quick and get them in the boat.

Sick! I'm pretty sure I saw you guys around the pier just on top of the ledge in about 110 a couple times last weekend. Were you guys on a 23 foot or so CC with a single outboard?

That Dolphin shot was tight and that Cobia that you stoned with the second shot was a gusher! :machinegun

Nice work guys!:thumbsup

yes, you guys are definitely a very impressive team. you look like the navy seals in underwater action. have you ever seen a hooked cobia? a couple of weeks ago we were out and a fisherman on another boat claimed that someone speared his hooked cobia and then cut his fishing line. i think that more than likely a bull shark grabbed his cobia and the line broke.

I saw one big bull last weekend with 3 broken lines trailering it.... Lol. It would be real risky to mess with a hooked fish freediving if it wrapped you up and swam down that would be it. Most likely a bull got your buddies fish thee are a lot of them out there right now.
