  Tripletail prefer bathwater.

  Even more so than cobia.

  Saw some today on my buoys.
  45-50'

  I am glad to only be a bird hunter with bird dogs...being a shooter or dog handler or whatever other niche exists to separate appears to generate far too much about which to worry.

  i dont usually mess with em til May myself. You have to go out a ways this time of year. As spring rolls in they seem to move to the traps closer in, then stone crab traps get pulled.
