Sorry guys for not updating since the 29th of May but fishing everyday and family emergencies have kept me away. We landed some more nice cobia with JT and the gang on the second day of fishing with them. Not seeing many numbers of cobia. Mark Arbutus crowd got the cinderella trip of late. We started out with a 60lb cobia then a triple of 25-40lb red drum then five more cobia to the boat. Then on the way home cruising and looking we hooked a shamoo on plane. Paul Taylorson of Baltimore slowed worked this bruiser to the boat. Out went the crippler and in the boat was a piggy 94lber! Donnie also threw up some 70-80lb piggies on the dock as well. It sure has been a good year for us so far!
Then here comes the crappy fishing with Zak and co. we could only muster up one blacktip andone cobia. The 2nd, skunk, big ole fat skunk on the cobia, we got into postion only to have a thunderstorm chase us back to the dock. The Francis crew, we tried hard but just no cobia poppin anywhere so we went off and beat up on the Amberjack on jigs and topwater. Super Randy Wong came out on the 4th and we tried a new spot I have been wanting to try. Well the Aj's were thick as fleas and monster blacksea bass to 21 inches! We kept 10 between 3-6lbs. Serious knotheads, we also released 15+ keeper fish as well. Randy also landed the largest ling cod I have ever see on my boat.
Then I have not been back on the boat the last couple of days. Cobia fishing will pick back up but right now we have had an unusual amount of cold water 60-64 locked in on us and that has kept the cobia away with only a few being spotted by anyone. The guys in the bay have started to catch some and fish have been spotted pretty regularly off Cape Lookout. So hopefully we can get these water temps back into the 68-71 degree range and get back on track with these cobia. Other fish that have been around are puppy drum, bluefish, spanish, sharks, aj's, sheephead. The crabbing trips have been going great as well with nice hauls of crabs. Thanks everyone for keeping up with us and fishing with us! Probably get blown out tomorrow and back on it on the 8th! Thanks Aaron
