Cobia on Fly - 07/22/08

[tieoneon]

Left the dock around 4:00pm fished some of the inshore bouys. At about 6:30, I was casting a chartruese Bob's Banger at one of the bouys, as it came through the eddy behind the bouy I had about a 35lber inhale my fly. Fought her for about 10 minutes, got her to the side of the boat and realized we didn't have a net, only a gaff. I wanted to release her, so I popped the fly and she swam away. Drifted by one bouy and it had about 25 rat cobes on it, pretty crazy.

OK, I have to say it.

I can handle Ray's reports on here. What he does is fun, and I know I can catch all the stripers I want with a short boat ride in the summer. So no jealousy there, just pure enjoyment of a good report.

BUT...

25 COBIA ON A BUOY?

This crap just aint fair. I think it's time to start looking for a house down your way.

You my friend are just downright mean.

John,
You are welcome to come down anytime. I pick the boat up on the 28th. If you made it down this way before or after that there should be plenty on the bouys.
