Evan and his 3 kids fished with me this morning. With a rainy forecast, we saw a window this morning and we grabbed it ! I immediately ran up to the
Cape Lookout Shoals where we found
great casting action to
Bluefish yesterday ... Once we got up there we saw the fish were still there, but as usual, they were in the worst place possible! However, they were also a little more scattered too.... There were also some
Spanish Mackerel mixed in as well.... F
ishing was great but standing up was difficult and it was "high anxiety action". It was a fish on
every cast though. I once hooked
3 Spanish Mackerel in a row. Landed two, even though
I dropped the largest one back over the side as I stumbled. Dammit. Another escaped as I lifted it.... Damn, one of three.... After we left the
Shoals we ran to
Jack Cox's Fish House and on our
2nd bite we actually landed a
75 lb Southern Stingray. The other was probably a
Shark, but it dove under the
Dock so who knows? After that, our final adventure carried us the the
State Port at MHC. Here Evan and crew landed
2 slammer Ribbonfish and that was that! All in all it was a fun and exciting day, but
I am sick and tired of East and Northeast Wind! It's August for crying loud .... We keep getting. "October" weather. It sucks.
Total Catch for the Day: 24 Bluefish from 1-2 lb 8oz, 5 Pinfish, a 75 lb Southern Stingray, 2 Spanish Mackerel at 1 lb 8oz and 2 lbs, and
2 Ribbonfish at 1 avg and 1 large

What exactly does "rough as a cob" mean? I've heard that expression used on the coast for years? I know it means the Ocean is rough, but why is the word "cob" used in describing it????
