Put in at Teach's lair and headed out the inlet to find beautiful flat waters for the first day of fishing. We put out some clark spoons and drone spoons with 20lb flouro on 12 ft leaders, no weights or planers. We didn't catch a thing. We trolled for an hour and then headed up the beach to bottom fish Chesapeake Bay style for cobia and drum. We get to the place and it is little chop, jus enough to rock the boat a little. We sit for 30 minutes and one of the girls gets sick, so we go to cruising for cobia and trolling again. Saw lots of dolphins but no cobia. We went in early.

South west wind blowin 15-20 mph and we head out the inlet anyway. My wellcraft V20 punches through the 5 fters in the inlet passing three other boats on their way out. Today we had planers and as soon as we made it out the inlet and dropped them back we were catchin spanish. We caught 5 before the other three boats made it out. By that time a new girl was no the boat and she got sick. So we headed back in the inlet. We ended up jumpin off on the beach and walking over to the inlet and casting to the surf and catching spanish and blues. Caught one spanish that was 25 inches long, nice fish.

Beautiful day! We trolled for 3 hours catching our limti on spanish. We couldn't keep them off the green clark spoons and drone spoons. We made it tot he drum/cobia grounds and set up there. We cleaned the spanish while we picked off the rays.
ALRIGHT, I NEED TO KNOW, we caught a sting ray that could electrically shock you. I know because i felt it twice. We use wire leader for everything down here because of all the sharks. I grabbed the wire leader to use the dehooker and that wire leader felt like it was on fire when I grabbed it. i let go immediately, kinda shocked but still tried to use the dehooker, I then touched the dehooker to the hook and my skin slipped an touched the metal on the dehooker and I got lit up! I cut the wire and told the ray he had to deal with the hook. it had a seven ft wing span and and eight foot long tail. EVER HEARD OF IT? PLEASE LET ME KNOW.
Then we got a screamin run and it turned out to be a 49 inch red drum, my friend Kay's forst one. The we put out a live blue fish and my wife caught her first 40 lb cobia. From there we packed up and headed in.

We got a late start because we were satisfied with our previous days catch. When we got to the marina everyone was weighing in cobia and a 64 lber was hanging up. Boats were reporting already seeing 15-20 cobias. We shot out to the grounds and there were 15 boats within 500 yards of where we wanted to be, we cruised in and set up, had boats casting to fish all around us, but no hook ups. We threw out and 15 minutes later we get a screaming run. My buddy picks it up and a head shake comes out the water 80 yards , BIG cobia. We get it to the boat and I stick it, 84 lber in the boat. We caught some rays the rest of the day and headed in early with our big catch.
We take this trip every year and we do great every year. I want to go back already.
