I had the chance to fish this week and took advantage of it. Headed to the IMG to chum with live bait and had a good day yesterday. Call up Todd to fish today and we got eaten alive by bluefish and sharks, I guess that's fishing. But we did see a nice one and a rat that Tood hooked up on a bucktail. Fished croaker and eels on the bottom.

Here's the pics from the first day (tuesday) 4 bites 3 hooked 2 made it into the boat. I boxed the first one around 30 lbs thinking this might be it for the day....big mistake, third fish was a monster probably pushing 80lbs. I didn't have measuring tape on board but got an estimate from the transom of about 55-58" and it was FAT. In the water shot you can see a pup on her back.

Nice report. I would've killed the first one too.

great report i guess the img is the spot right now i think that 105 came from there

GREAT JOB!!! Thanks for the report. You got me ready to go now!

Pretty work, good year on the cobia for sure.....

congrats. Where is IMG? any details, what time? what bait? i have been out a few times for cobia with no luck.

Nice work Craig.

Inner Middle Grounds, I was on the part they call the 9 foot shoal which is between High Rise and 4th Island. It was during the first half of the falling tide. Anchor up on a ledge and chum, put some live baits on the bottom. I fished this spot 4 times this year and only caught them once...be patient or go looking for them.

Nice job, nothing like a bloody deck!
