June 27 Grouper, Cobia and Amberjack Chewing again




I got no camera.... Now, I got no cell phone.... Light N winds became 15-18 kts out of the NE.... Chris and I were headed Dolphin Fishing.... Five miles out of Beaufort Inlet, we changed heading and went Grouper/Amberjack fishing inshore instead... We got our asses kicked.... 4-6 foot seas at our spot, but the fish were chewing.... Every drift, we'd get one drop... Every drift we'd each get a bite.... After 90 minutes of fishing, we started a long, long ride home. An hour out there was 150 minutes back... The fishing was excellent though. We each got a Cobia. I decimated the Amberjacks, keeping the smallest two at 17 and 19 pounds.... We each released a big Amberjack though. We each did well on Grouper, Chris got the biggest at 14 lbs... We saw a 200 lb Dusky Shark that gave us the eye and swam away...... That was it. I'm tired. Total Catch for the Day: 2 Cobia at 18 lbs each, 8 Gag Grouper up to 14 lbs, 12 Amberjack from 17lbs to 50" released  and a 6 lb Sharpnose Shark

The cobia are all off schedule this year, eh? Nice catch. Doesn't really match the two 9" stocker rainbows I caught in :15 this morning, but you look like you were trying pretty hard ;]

Pitiful Cobia season....These Cobia aren't even Cobia, but wreck and reef cocoa puffs
