Lots of reef donkeys (AKA amberjack), are stacked up on the buoys in the shipping channel. What a workout to pull on one of these!

June 9th
After filling the livewell with about 100 menhadden, we ran to 90 ft of water to some live bottom. Immediatly we started pulling fish over the side. There were pink snapper, vermillion snapper, big blackfish, amberjacks, some undersized gag grouper and nice fat sow red snapper! What a bite, we limited out in no time! After filling all our limits, we continued to release lots of nice fish!

Big Cobia!
June 22nd, 2009
June 8th,
My wife’s uncle and a few of his friends came down from Sarasota Florida to catch some dolphin. We fished on a full moon and it kept the dolphin from biting most of the day. After 6 hours of trolling that only produced a few king mackerel and a barracuda, we decided to drop some lines down to the bottom to catch some snapper. We quickly caught our limit of pink snapper on the 160 ft ledge, so I moved about 10 miles inshore to try to catch some red snapper and grouper. No big reds or grouper bit, but a big cobia about 75lbs came to the back of the boat! I quickly hooked up a frisky live bait. He eagerly ate the bait and after a few jumps that would make a sailfish jealous, the cobia and me slugged it out for about 20 minutes before it was brought to gaff. Back at the dock the fish tipped the scales at a whopping 75lbs!
