Stuart 5-30-09, Kings and Cobia

krisis7 · 05-30-2009, 04:33 PM

Started the day early, lines in at 6:30am, nothing seen in the great blue, trolled all the way to 1200 ft, only saw a few fliers and some scattered weed, so we came in , and that it where it was today. First up was a Bonita, at least we got the skunk off and had a decent fight. Then the way way back rt rigger pops off, put my son Richie in the belt and after a while boated a nice King, smiles all around.

then the fun began, while resetting and rerigging I spotted a turtle about 20 ft off the port side, grabbed my pitch rod , rigged with one of those tube lures for Spanish, and tossed it at the turtle to see if anyone was home, sure enough a Cobia came a lookin. He ate and fight was on on my small spinner, what a great fight, a quick gaff and in the box he went, my first Cobe in my boat. He was 35 inches.

Trolled a little longer and picked up a Spanish Mackeral and another larger King. Called it a day and we went in to beat the showers. Here they are getting ready to be prepared for Dinner.

No Dolphin today, but the Cobia made up for that..

Nice catch and pictures. Cobia should've tasted pretty good
