The Morning started off a little rainy.  We let the storms move through and then left the dock around 10a.m. The winds were calm so we headed out to fish the beaches. There is a good size ground swell, Monster hole was going off! The Kingfish were about two miles straight out in front of the Sebastian Inlet.

Wanting  to try something different today. I have heard of reports of Cobia showing up out of the Port Canaveral.  John and I headed up there and set out on our search. We stopped on a few buoys and fished. I caught one small Triple Tail. We also caught a dozen pinfish for bait. Once we got out to were the rays and Cobia have been,  I saw a Ray jump and the boat that was just a bit closer than we were got to it first and hooked up a nice Cobia.  We continued our search, I noticed a few more Rays jumping. We were having a hard time getting over to them before they went down. Finally, we got lucky and got close enough to make a cast. There were 3 Cobia on this Ray. I threw first and hooked up the biggest of the 3. John made a cast but threw the bait off. That was it, the fish left the scene and we landed the one that I had hooked up. It ended up being right at 40lbs. We continued to search but no luck. The day was getting late and it was getting difficult to see.

We headed out of the Sebastian Inlet at 8 this morning. The water temperature is still a little chilly. It was 64 degrees this morning. The temperature came up to 68 when we came back in this afternoon.The weather was beautiful, sunny and calm S.E. winds.  We stopped at a few bottom spots and dropped. We caught lots of Sea Bass, a few Triggers, and some small Snapper. We never had a big hit.

We stopped and fished a weedline on the way in. We found one turtle with a small Cobia on it. Jose caught and released it. It was a beautiful day on the water and fun fishing Jose again.

First Cobia we choked on. It was the big one too. It was probably 50lbs. We spotted it twice more but no luck. Finally came across a 25lber that we put in the box.  The next fish was short and we released it. We missed the Snook bite at the inlet but Ken caught a Jack and we seen a few Reds caught. It was a great day on the water. It had been too long since my last day in the ocean.

Happy Independence Day to everyone. Hope it was as good for you as it was for me. Clint was back in town from Atlanta. This time we were on a fishing mission. The fishing has been kind of slow around the inlet. The water temp. is a little chilly.  With some Cobia reports we decided to go north and fish out of Port Canaveral. The weather was good with no storms near us. On our way out we caught plenty of croakers.

Once we got out to the area we started searching. Clint was on fire he spotted the first ray and caught the most and the biggest. Great job of leading the rays! It was a great day. We had tons of action!  We limited with our 4 fish.  I love that type of fishing. It is by far my favorite!  Thanks Clint and Drake for sharing and making  a great day of fishing.
