Got on the water at 6:30, a bit chilly but very little wind. Went out to the spoil bar and the first fish on was around 25 inches broke my new rod when I set the hook but got him almost to the boat before the line broke and he left with my new Sitter Walk The bite was slow and I had two 17's, a 19 7/8, and a 22 incher when I left at 11:30 ta come get the wife and yougin stopped by Crum's and they replaced the broken rod with another Wife and youngin was nowhere ta be found so, I eat and went back by myself with the high tide, I went to my Redfish spot and on the third cast had fish-on, it was an exactly 27 inch Red couldn't do no better than that so I went on back to the flats ta try the Trout again fished for an hour with no bites and was gonna just run in when I decided ta hit the point of Bottoms before I give up, about 6 cast later, I got to actually watch as a Cobia swam up to my new Skitter Walk and inhale it after about 5 minutes of give and take, I netted the fish and she proceeded to break the replacement rod into 4 different pieces in short order only 30 inches so, back overboard with her loaded up and went back to Crum's, they said I needed ta catch smaller fish when they give me another replacement rod "no hassle over it though" all in all a pretty good day

Nice report -

Sorry to hear about the rod - I broke one today....can't blame it on a cobia though

Two rods in one day, wow! Too bad the cobe wasn't big enuff. Ya need one o' them Quantum 7 ft. casting rods. I broke one in yesterday( no pun intended) and got some nice big trout on it. I was in Crum's place the other day. Man, he has a lot of tackle. Spent an hour just looking around.

Sounds like a good day on fish, not so hot on rods.

good deal. ya still running the 808's?

That is some fine fishing!

WTG Wevans- two busted rods- 2 replacements- Excellent day

When you gona get one of them cheap digital cameras?
Shot of that Cobia and the busted pieces rod would have been worth
1000kb words....

Mr. Crum is always good to me.

Good report!@

I use nothing but spining reels now "a Red Dot and 2 Daiwa 2500 combo's" still got the Zebco's for the wife and youngin"s though

I have a camera MJ, but the last time I took it on the boat, I had to send it off for replacment "it don't like being even near the water" I hope ta find a water resistant one CHEAP some day

Sweet!

Crum's seems to be good folks. Be careful though, or they might ban you from the store.

Wevans...you are just to strong for the average rod. Put you and Mike in a boat together ya'll could put crum's out of business ..sounded like you had fun tho WTG

Sounds like ya had a good day, cept for tha rods.

Reel nice, Wevans.

I just have an old cheapie Kodak I take in the boat in a water-resistant case. It's been wet a couple of times, dropped several times and still seems to keep clicking. Here's a shot I took Friday in Jacksonville....



Not intending to steal your thread, but I managed to keep the camera relatively moist after this shot and it still works. I even have to use duct tape to hold the battery door closed....

Thanks for the report Waldo. Crum's in Panacea .
