Boated a 24" cobe last Friday at Anky and two days before that
followed a very large one around for about a half hour as he worked
around a bar...tried to entice him several times without success.
On light tackle they are fun!

The ones we saw were cruising pretty close to big rays. My wife thought she had hooked the ray until it swam off in the other direction. I forgot to mention the Challanger Marsh Master rod from South GA outdoors was intrumental in taming the beast. Thinking about getting a few more, anybody if where I can find one?

A wise man told me once that a little money can cover up a whole lot of ugly.
