Last few weeks have been amazing!!! 3 days of very cold waters down 40.4 degrees. During which we had to literally put the bait a few inches from their mouth.

2022 Eddie called wanting to catch a cobia what's the best time?! I told him mid April but it's a hard fish to try for we usually chum for them and it can be slow.. But we can usually catch some shark bull reds jacks or something to pass time.. Sounds like fun so he booked a mid April day and we was gone give it a try!! Well about 3 hrs in on a 6hr. Trip we hadn't had much activity., Couple runs but we didn't connect so wasn't sure what the runs were.. Bout that time I happened to spot the fish come up the chum slick on bottom so I knew the pole closes to him was a live cat fish so I told him to grab it and pull it in a lil and when he did the cobia attacked it.. luckily I seen it and was able to unlock the spool quick enough to let the fish swallow the bait for a 6 Mississippi count then locked it and he set the hook and the fish bolted to the top trying to sling the hook.. He did good for his first saltwater fishing experience.. after a few trips around the boat we were able to gaff the fish and in the boat!! His adrenaline was a little high and w/ high blood pressure actually got a lil green so we called it a day.. The next year he booked the same day and actually caught a fish that was identical same time weight and all.. almost a carbon copy of the year before.. we did try last year but was unsuccessful!!

Last 12 days with strong winds and cold weather found plenty of trout during my last 10 trips. The reds are a little slow for the season and trout running big. Caught many 18.5 to 21 inch trout

5 stars! We had a fun and memorable fishing trip with the family! Captain Conner was awesome! He took us to a couple of spots with great results.
