Quick work

Had a very enjoyable morning with Jamie from down around Topsail Island.  We left the dock at 9 and returned at 12 with 4 nice Cobia up to 55lbs.   Great conditions out there, crystal clear water allowed us to see all these fish cruising the bottom.  He even let me get one!  Thanks Jamie, fantastic morning.

Few cobes

Caught a handful of Cobia today with a great crew from Greensboro.  Short report – long day.  Back at it tomorrow.

Fruits of our labor

Here is the final product of an afternoon bouncing around in the tower in some rough conditions. NE wind 20-25 with a nice cross chop spraying us down.  We went 4 for 5 on cobia. I cooked up the one that we had to measure 16 different ways to get him in the box.  33.000001″.   Game warden checked him out at the dock. He laughed at how close he was.   Give me a shout if you are ready to hit some cobia from the tower! The next 2 – 3 weeks are prime time and I don’t have many days open.

Doubled up !

Found some more Reds today in the same location.  Even managed to find a slot fish which has been a tall order.  Most of these fish are ranging between 28-32″.  Booking up fast for the next few weeks as well as the prime summer dates.  Call me – lets lock in a date for ya!

Red drum?

What are we calling these fish now? Red drum? Yearlings?  They shouldn’t fall under the “puppy drum” category anymore.  These overslot reds are super fun – and a great fight on light tackle.  Here is 1 of 2 we picked up today in some very windy conditions.  Thanks for joining me guys, great company!
