No King

Posted on June 27, 2020 by admin

I left the cobia alone and tried for an early king. I caught cobia. I also caught ribbonfish and big red drum. I had four of those hooked at the same time…that was fun. I was only trolling plugs. Those trolling spoons had a good catch of Spanish mackerel. There were reports of king sightings and king bite offs but no catches. I had no encounters.

Cobia

Posted on June 7, 2020 by admin

We went cobia fishing yesterday. Caught six chumming in the morning. One was a strangely spotted fish and it had a deep gash on its dorsal. We then ran across the bay and spotted a couple on the way to the tarpon grounds. They will be here later this month and I wanted to get a good track on the new electronics. Bounced bottom a bit but we got there and back. We then set up for drum without any luck. We did not drum fish long as I was fishing again in the morning.

My dental assistant had fished for cobia but had never caught one. I thought that was silly. She has now caught two.

Today’s Cobia

Posted on May 30, 2020 by admin

Ran back out today. Managed to catch a cobia before the storms chased me in. I missed a few and broke one off. It looks to be another good cobia season.

Cobia This Morning

Posted on May 29, 2020 by admin

I ran out and did some cobia fishing this morning and ran back in to beat the storms. I caught and released 6 cobia, missed others, and pulled the hook on one. The guys that get out on Monday (opening day), should do well.

Commission Meeting Cobia

Posted on May 26, 2020 by admin

Today was the monthly meeting of the VMRC. This usually means a day away from the dental office in a coat and tie. Because of this “social distancing” thing, today’s meeting was held online. It still meant a day away from the office but there was no coat and tie. I wasn’t even wearing shoes. After the meeting, I did slip on some shoes and jumped into the boat for an afternoon cobia trip. I caught two, missed one, and pulled off a big one after it led me for a few laps around the boat. If I was going to loose it, now was a good time. It would have hurt more next week when the season is open.

There is a required (free) cobia permit again this year along with mandatory reporting. For details: https://mrc.virginia.gov/

Baby Cobia

I fished the edge of Poquoson Flats this afternoon. Missed a couple, pulled the hook on one, and caught a little cobia. I’ll get a bigger one when the season opens June 1.
