I went after cobia again yesterday. Talked to Wes the night before. He had Rob Wittman fishing with him. He said that he left it up to Rob when to start. Rob said he’d be there 4am. I said the heck with that, I’m headed out after a leisurely breakfast, which I did. Then came in for a late lunch. Caught 4 cobia, none large. The largest I saw just swam up to the boat, slacker that I was being, I had nothing ready to toss to it. Nice lazy Fathers Day except Wes kept bugging me. He and Rob caught 14 cobia before I left the dock. They ended up catching and releasing 19 cobia up to 51 inches and kept a 20th fish. Another Wes report: he invited me to drum fish with him Friday after work but I was at a Potomac Rivers Fishery Commission Meeting. He went, said the grass was bad but they caught 5 big red drum…so that bite is still going on….buoy 8-10 area.
This was my 3rd short cobia trip this month, just running the little boat from the house. Caught cobia each trip. All small.
