Not looking good for this weekend. Sunny skies but 7-10ft seas means I stay onshore. Season is coming to an end real quick.
Yesterday.... morning full moon flood tide with beautiful weather the day before a cold front...... but I supposedly had a bunch of deadline work coming in so I didnt go. Turns out I had about 3 hours worth of work tops
Took my buddy kayak fishing today...... turned out to be a beautiful fall weather day.... started of chilly (upper 40s) and there was steam coming off the water. Paddled around looking for flood tide fish. Finally got a few and put my buddy on a nice fat 25" redfish (we released)..... I got a little one, but then lost a HUGE inshore flounder (over 20") Took 1 flounder home for dinner Looks like I'm heading offshore tomm
We're getting our asses pounded almost every weekend. I've had to cancel two offshore weekend trips. Best guess is a fall->winter pattern transiton hitting every weekend.
Fun day offshore with my buddy and his pops.... nice weather. We had all the gear for wahoo trolling but stopped halfway as winds were alot stronger past 20 miles...... not alot of fish, but we managed to jig up a few of these guys though: https://www.instagram.com/p/B5Y5X_ihVFL/
That cobia grilled up deliciously and fed family and friends If you need (want) a mid-size spinning reel some ass... today only Quantum Boca 50s are half price from Tackle Direct...... I really didnt need, but for $80 I couldnt resist (got a new Grundens bib for 30% off too) https://www.tackledirect.com/quantum-boca-bsp50ptse-spinning-reel.html
had cobia for the first time a few years back when i was visiting a buddy of mine in jupiter. absolutely delicious fish, probably second to grouper for me.
Cobia over grouper all day long.... more fun to catch too Crabs are a staple of a cobia's diet, that's why they taste so good
in more accurately, i would say it's a tie for me. i slightly prefer the flavor of cobia, but slightly prefer the slightly flakier texture of grouper.
The fish in the photo... lol Jigged him up off the bottom with a 6oz bucktail jig with a Gulp eel trailer
Weather was super nice, and cooler temps have cleared up our inshore waters...... made for some fun light tackle inshore sight fishing friday afternoon LOL... the video was NOT me: https://www.instagram.com/p/B5yHlonh671/
