my first cobia of 2019
Got on the boat after sunrise service. Went out to have my my own spiritual experience on the water.
Picked up some pinfish by the bird rack (plus my first bluefish of the season) and headed out to St Marks reef.
Action was a bit slow at first, but this 42"cobia gave me a thrill (especially trying to land it by myself with my trout/redfish net).
Managed a 16" flounder on (shrimp and bucktail) as well, and a 22" gag that went back in the water to grow a little.

Nice fish. Did you catch it on the bottom, free lining, or fishing with a bobber?geofish wrote:Got on the boat after sunrise service. Went out to have my my own spiritual experience on the water.

Egg sinker sliding above a 3 ft leader & circle hook. Just a few cranks off the bottom.
