I ran out for a short reef trip Friday with storms in the forecast. Tried for a sheepshead. Caught some tautog, numerous gray trout, baby croaker and a bunch of oyster toads. No sheep encounters. Two togs already had tags. I put tags in the rest.
This morning, I ran out to tag some cobia with Stan Simmerman. We tagged 5 from 25 to 53 inches long. The largest was part of a triple hitter or so. We caught two. The big fish had another nice fish with that we were too busy to try for. I caught a shark that was followed in by a cobia. We did try for that one but it did not want to play with us. It wanted the rest of the eel hanging out of the shark’s mouth. Good cobia fishing right now. Should be a good opening day Tuesday.
