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...

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!!

A recent trip with a great crew out of Florida in town for a run at these Delacroix red fish!
We headed out making a short run south in the fog with the intention of fishing our way further south as the fog lifted. We got on fish at the first stop and never got off that shoreline. We moved down the grass edge picking up several fish at each stop until it was time to head in. They took pictures of the big girls and released them to fight another day. A great day with a great crew!
