Healthy Grin Sport Fishing

Today was my Flounder Bowl lay day. I went out and had a great clearnose skate bite going on when a cobia interrupted the action. Will try to catch a different kind of brown fish tomorrow.

I went out and did some cobia fishing today prior to the Father’s Day festivities. Fishing was very good. I was getting my 4th rod ready when all 3 of the others went off. Somehow, I managed to land all 3, fishing solo. I also landed a double. Most of the fish were 40 something inches long. I caught a couple that reached the 50-inch mark. I caught one that already had a tag in it.

Chummed for cobia today. Caught 4, pulled the hook on a couple more.

Caleb Sava caught his first cobia today. His dad, Gabe is in the photo with him. They were fishing with Charles and Hunter Southall. Caleb’s fish was 56 inches long and he decided to release it. I was about a mile from them. I caught a cobia also. Mine was not as big as Caleb’s.

We fished the Norfolk Canyon today. Fishing was good. We ended up catching 18 yellowfin tuna. 17 were in the 35-50 pound range. The other, was the smallest yellowfin we have caught. Makos were thick. We caught 4 out of 5, all on monofilament leaders. We kept our one. We also caught a half-dozen dolphin and a couple of skipjack tuna. We quit early and left them biting when we had run out of places to put fish. Tuna were busting on the surface and mako sharks were free jumping all around us.

Chummed for cobia today. Caught 4 of 7 bites.

Hunter Southall went out in his boat with Steve Martin yesterday. They fished for cobia (Hunter had caught 3 to 52 inches the day before). They caught 2 cobia then Hunter came back in to join us on his dad’s boat (Charles). Gabe Sava also joined us for a night of drum fishing. Fishing was good. We landed 9 large red drum having as many as 3 hooked up at a time. We pulled the hook on 5 drum and missed other bites. We came in because some of us had work in the morning. Hunter got up and went cobia fishing again with JT Hale. They have caught one cobia and at the moment, they are still fishing.

I went drum fishing with Charles and Hunter Southall again this morning. We caught 3 reds and 1 black.

I went fishing with Hunter and Charles Southall last night after work. We caught 3 red drum and pulled off a few others before heading back in. Nice, short trip.
