Kinda slow

Past couple days have been a little slow. Had to pull the boat one day to do a bunch of work on it. Sound fishing has been very hit or miss. Hero or zero. Still a few cobia around when conditions allow us to get out. Hoping things pick up a little!

Excellent sound fishing!

First morning back in the sound did not disappoint ! Schools of slot and over slot drum with big 10lb bluefish mixed in! I’ve heard of a few nice trout around _ we will be able to keep those on June 15th. I’ll leave them alone til then. Still plenty of cobia around. We did have a couplr slow days but they made a good showing yesterday. Thanks for checking!

Back to reality? Hope not….

Had a couple slow days cobia fishing , including the first skunk of the season. Fished from 8 to 2 and only saw 2 small fish. The fish have made a good showing in Virginia so we are definitly past the best of it. Everyone is talking about another wave of fish so I’m hopeful things pick back up! We did catch another fish over 70lbs three days ago. Thanks for checking!

Put a pig in the boat this morning! Ended up having a great day catching over a dozen with a nice limit that included 2 citations. Someone pinch me!

Season for the books

Well, this is the first time I have actually sat down at my computer and written out a report.  I found a way to do it on my phone, but unfortunately it isn’t that easy and I have been keeping it way too short so I am sorry about that.  One thing I always told myself I would never do no matter how busy I got was not take half decent pictures and not keep my website updated.  I’ve started to slack a little but I’m going to turn that around!

OK, back to the fishing.   It has been the best cobia fishing I have ever seen.  Unbelievable numbers…. We have gotten so spoiled that I don’t know how I’ll ever go back to normal cobia fishing.   We are seeing fish every 10-15 minutes and it is has been pairs, triples, and big packs of fish.  In the early part of the season we were seeing piles of them but not alot of big fish.  We have finally started to see the larger fish and we have gotten a few really nice ones to the boat.  Really hoping to get an 80 or 90 pounder this year.  Im DUE!

I haven’t been fishing the sound at all but I imagine the trout and puppy drum fishing is heating up.  We have been able to get in the ocean every day so I haven’t messed with them much.

Thanks so much for checking and thank you all for fishing with me I appreciate it so much more then you know!
