Bay Cobia and Reds at home

Made another trip up to the bay this week.  This time my brother and I headed up for in an effort to catch a cobia on fly – a first for both of us.  The day started off great – we started seeing them right away.  Catching a cobia on the fly is VERY hard.  We ended up having to break the ice with the spinning rod just to put one in the box.  We were seeing too many without a hook up.   Matt finally hooks a decent fish on fly, but had the fly line wrap up around the reel during the first run, POW.   That was a heartbreaker – I was so pumped.   We kept grinding away and caught a few more fish on spinning tackle.  Finally, I got back up on the tower with the fly rod and managed to catch my first cobia on fly.   It was a small one, but I was pumped!  Can’t wait to get back out there and try for a bigger one.

Had my buddy Matt Myatt on the boat this morning for a little puppy drum action.   We had to bounce around a little bit to find them but we managed to find some fish and wind on a few.  No matter what the wind forcast is when I take Matt fishing, it is always windy as hell.  Charters on Friday so stay tuned for more reports and thanks for checking!
