Today Austin and Jessa headed east to try to find the pretty water we were in the other day. We had to search a bit but found it about 3 miles east of where it was. We started off with a double header of Gaffer Dolphins on Trout rods with 10 pound test. We got two more singles on the light tackle before the wind started to crank up. It was getting rough fast out there so we headed in to look for a Cobia near the beach but never saw one. Thanks guys, those were the biggest Mahi we’ve ever caught with Trout rods on the Sneaky!

This morning Bill and Chris fished in the sound sin ce it was a bit too breezy to feel safe in the ocean. We started off catching Speckled Trout and Striped Bass casting artificials on light tackle. After that we looked for a Red Drum but didn’t find any this time. We ended the day in a different spot where we caught a few Flounder with one really nice one. Thanks guys, look forward to seeing you again next year!

This afternoon Josh John Brittany and Susan headed east for some Cobia hunting. We started off hot with a 45 pound citation Cobia right off the bat. We saw a couple Mahi Mahi and caught one on a Trout rod! We caught a few Remoras on the Trout rod then at the end of the day we saw a group of seven Cobias and hooked three. One nice one pulled the hook, one was a throwback (pictured) and one was a small keeper. Lots of action on a really fun half day trip with a great group!

Today Mark and Brian headed out for an all day trip. We started off looking for Trout but the water was muddy and very fresh due to all the rain we had lately. We caught a bunch of small Stripers but no Trout. We decided to head to the ocean and try sight fishing for Cobia. Turned out to be a good plan as we caught 4 Cobia getting our limit and releasing one. No monsters but 3 quality fish for the grill. Thanks guys, had a blast!

Today Wayne Vandiver took his son Russell plus good friends Mike and Greg out for a 3/4 day trip. We started off looking for Spanish Mackerel and found plenty on a pretty color change. After we had all we wanted we decided to try some chumming. We caught a nice Spinner Shark and also caught some more Spanish and nice Bluefish on light tackle jigging in the slick. We ended the trip with some Trout fishing in the sound. Thanks for a fun day guys!

Fishing was really tough today. We had fog this morning and some of the strongest current I can remember due to the mini hurricane that reformed yesterday. We caught some Spanish Mackerel and Bluefish but the Sharks and Cobia just didn’t want to play. This afternoon we did some Trout fishing to start then tried for a Cobia. Conditions were still tough but we did manage one small Cobia that we released. Great to have Ryan and Bill Denny back again this year!
