We have also had a good showing of cobia offshore, hope they are still there.
Same here.If you fish the shallow patches you catch small yellowtail snapper.We fish in 70' -80' off the reef.Some days we catch large and some days med.The cobia are starting to show as well as some mahi.If you want, there are blackfin tuna on the hump 12 miles away.They are fun.From 5lbs to 20lbs and they fight well.Just nice to be here and enjoy the warm sun and fish close and simple.
