2 half

Had a couple half day trips in the sound. We caught trout, stripers, flounder, sea mullet, and a couple black drum. It was a nice change of pace from the full days in the ocean looking for cobia. Photographing the bridge project tomorrow then I’ll be back at it on Friday looking for Mr brown.

Colin

TD Colin passed us by this morning.   It was basically a heavy rain with a tiny bit of wind.  It moved out of here by mid day so my brother and I went out looking for cobia.  We saw 3 and caught 1. It even had a tag – looking forward to seeing the tracking data on this recapture.  Nice fish!

Slow kine

Brutally slow cobia fishing today. Saw a nice fish this morning – should of had her. . . . Looked around all day and saw a small one right before we headed in. Back at it tomorrow.

Double down

Had Micheal, Josh, and 5 year old Charley this morning.  We couldn’t buy a trout bite early so we headed down to the inlet and drifted some flounders.  Caught about 8 throwbacks.  Bottom fished for a while and had a pretty good sea mullet bite going along with a couple blues.  Went outside looking for cobia. Pulled the spanish rig around and picked up 1 .  Fun morning with this crew!

Had Tracy and Co. this afternoon in search of cobia.  Hadn’t been much seen in the fleet today but we gave it a go.  Hopped up in the tower and was immediatly staring at a 50 pounder.  Hooked her and got her in the boat.   Climbed back up and saw a pack of 3 and we hooked 1 of those and got him to the box about a 30 pounder.  Rain was coming so we looked around for a little while longer and didn’t see any so we headed on in. Success

Phew!

Had some tough visibilty this morning but we saw 3 and caught 1. We got lucky to get this one as most of the fleet wasn’t seeing much at all.  Came inside late morning and caught some trout and stripers.
