PhishHi
fished for cobia yesterday...i anchored up on a shoal and started chumming caught a few sharks and broke off three cobia..well im fairly certain the were cobia..the came up and thrashed around on top and they looked like cobia...anyone else catching any?
cobiakid
where were you what shoal ? im going out tommor
Bait n Switch
If they came up to the top more than likely what you were dealing with were cobia or some other "fish" as distinguished from "trash fish." Most sharks, rays and skate run straight for the bottom and stay there.

A spinner and a black tip can put on a display but you would have defently known it was a shark
