Cobe:30

Hadn't seen a Cobia out here since last summer sometime until yesterday. Started off seeing a pair here and a pair there then triples and quads. Haven't ever seen this many before. We ended up catching a 42 and a 46lber. Lost a few more with one prob pushing 75+. Both caught on the ole trusty 6/0 with live hardtails.

I also saw a school of Mackerel flashing and feeding on bait. Covered about an acre, pretty neat seeing that many Kings in a feeding frenzy. Lasted about 5mins and hadn't seen another one.

Few pics of the Cobia.

Yep, that is Sam's "Pier Away From Here"
He has provided us with a lot of awesome shots since he joined the forum!
Keep 'em comin' PNG

Nice pictures too. Now if I can just see fish like that live, life will be good.

Too cool Sam. Did Y'all ever weld up a pier gaff?

These guys came today and free dove and killed 3. Two of them looked around 45lbs and the third looked about 60 or so.

Yea John I have one but I have a construction crew here now and they're working on another one for me. I've been using a homeade net made out of an old 12man life raft and 1/2" tubing.

Forgot to mention, talk about a fine boat. 36' Yellowfin with trip 300's. Time to go buy a lottery ticket I guess.
