**Mild Profanity** For the first time in my life, had an awesome day of cobia fishing! Been hoping for a day like this for years, and for one reason or another, my cobia trips were almost always huge failures (starting in 2014 when the first charter I ever booked with my friends got blown out). Jeremy and John hooked it up (thanks guys!), fished a prime day with these 2 cobia killers, we saw dolphins, turtles, rays, sheepshead and cobia all cruising around on the surface, taking many casts at mostly 32”-39” fish. Just to be able to see and cast at a bunch of cobia made this day epic, would have been really sweet if I didn’t mess up a good shot at the biggest fish we saw that day, definitely will never forget seeing that fish roll on my eel. I am not an experienced cobia fisherman… saw 3x more fish this day than Ive seen my whole life. Hope to get another chance to do this before the season ends!
