Ventured offshore this morning and were greeted by some hungry flounder. Took us about 2 hrs to secure our limit. Changed gears and found some sea bass. The guys said they had enough and wanted to head back and try for cobia. Half way back in we slowed down and it didn’t take long to find one. We have open days for wreck fishing or cobia trips in July and August

Today is one of those days I won’t forget. We have caught a lot of blue fin this year,  but I dont ever really get a chance on the rod! So we did a fun trip today and I got more than my share. We caught 6 fish over 100 inches,  I got to reel in 5 of them.￼ We even caught a few on spinning gear. It was a great day with my friends, we all have sore arms.
