Cobia in Season

Cobia in Season

There are so many cobia stacked up on some of the gulf wrecks the water looks brown when you pull up to them. We had a great day catching cobia last week, with some jacks and fishing.org/?p=86″title=”" >sharks thrown in the mix. Not huge fish but some where over 30# and put up a hell of fight on spinning tackle.

Mixed in the with cobia where a bunch of sharks including some bull sharks which would try to steal any fish you had hooked. A big chunk of dead bait on wire lead quickly to hook up and another whole level of fight. Bull sharks have to be the strongest fighting shark , outside of perhaps mako. If you ever want to stress test your tackle hook up with a good size bull shark because they will give you a run for the money.

Smaller Amberjack 30-40 pounds

The amberjack spawn is on, and captains around the Florida Keys are reporting catching fish over a 100 POUNDS. People are fishing primarily jigs on sea mounts and deep water wrecks but smaller amberjack like these in the photo are being taken on the reef in less the 100 feet of water.

If want to catch a serious fighting fish almost nothing compares to a large amberjack, they will fight all the way to the surface, and often keep fighting out fo the water once they are in the boat.
