Where the fuck are those stupid ass cobias... Seems more fickle each year...bumming...

I will ask the flounder the same question.

I would also like to know why we didn't catch a single dolphin while tuna fishing (3 different trips) on the other side?

-------------------------
I was right.

guys are crushin cobia on the wrecks in jax with 68-72* water on jigs. not as fun as sight fishing but you can keep 2 per person offshore and theyve been thick!

I'm not seeing any Cobia out of my friends boats, but they sure are slaying the Wahoo out there.

I'd take a hooter over a cobia!

Saw the head boats have been getting a few fat blackfin on their trips even the half days which only go out what 15 miles!?

If you like sushi a fat blackfin and some lanes and mangoes would be worth the price of admission!

How far out do you guys have to run to get wahoo down there?

20 to 25 miles most of the time. The 21 ridge if conditions are right, but they usually hang around the Cones about 25 out.

A few whoppers get caught every year on 8A and Pelican Flats (15 miles out) but it's not real common.

-------------------------
I was right.

about half the distance that we have to

You guys get world class action if you hit it right. Not to mention the Bee-liners stacked on the reefs in the winter. We are pretty much hit or miss no matter what and don't really have Vermilion snapper.

-------------------------
I was right.

100%. A Part of why our fishing is so good is the work it takes to get them

God those bee-liners are fucking black belly CANDY... and fat gray or sow will inhale the fuck outta one of those... Wheres those damn cobias...ill be damned if i have to wait until fucking damn near March...

Too cold off of Cocoa Beach for them now. Ft Pierce maybe?

-------------------------
I was right.

A friend that fishes down there said they are on bull sharks near the "boil" and other public wrecks

-------------------------
I troll 2L.com to be a better person in real life

We got some good ones last year off the Bulls just north of there. There were giant sharks everywhere, that was cool in itself.

-------------------------
I was right.

Ran out to try and get them last monday.... and got our asses kicked! The ledge was 3-5 and short period (took one freak wave over the bow on a 36 Cape Horn)..... so no Hoos high speeding.... I did jig up on decent cobe off a wreck on the way out

dang if its rough in that boat god save the queen! we always try to high speed first, seems the bite is best early and slows down by 0800-0900, unless you can find bait up high in the column for what its worth.

-------------------------

Ha, yeah, us too..... but we stopped around the 20mile mark to "test" the waters as it was already way bumpier coming out the inlet than expected. I got one cobia pretty quick, but that was it..... didnt seem too bad, so we decided to push east. Once we got to the ledge it was a different ball game.....

Birds and launching sharks all over outside of Patrick yesterday. I'm not sure what they are eating, but it was pretty rad.

-------------------------
I was right.

The water off of Cocoa beach is 68 degrees. There will be Cobia.

-------------------------
I was right.

They will prolly get pushed back south with this next round of north that's right around the corner...and he'll with the winds and sun seeming never wanting to help out with a boat on the smaller side..I sit and wait for my window of chance to blaze out and keep that head on a swivel...

Manta Rays and spinners off of Patrick yesterday. Gannets bombing out on the color change. I watched a nice sporty wheel on something, then search for awhile, but no one took a cast. The rays were in shallow just outside of the surf break, maybe 20 feet of water.

I saw all this from the beach while checking the surf.

-------------------------
I was right.

There was a zillion boats heading out of the port today. I was headed west for work and they were headed east to fish.

-------------------------
I was right.

last week on the full moon boats were crushing the big wahoo out of Jax and St Aug, I know probably a dozen people who all got 3-4 hoos with a few being 80-90 lbs and I think someone had a tripple digit all probably high speeding!

Went out Saturday(god i hate the weekends)... Went south of the dredge some...NOTHING one ray all day..and he jumped way off shore of us..... Talked to rob at the dive shop Saturday he said lummer(scott)...went south aways..and nothing....that was friday...but the fin and fly dude (jamie maybe)..got one off the dredge... Another buddy went out friday outta the inlet and seen like 40 rays..but were all empty...said he went out of Canaveral Thursday and aeen a ray just offshore around patrick,had a solid fish on him...but sort of ran him over due to the glare of the sun.... So yea Saturday was tough...also talked with brentwood said a friend of his went south also and didnt see shit....so who knows...not like it used to b...at least for me anyways......lol

water is still low 60's north of cape so you havent missed them yet! I think a lot stay deep and dont come to the beach due to crowds, poor things are covered in jigs

-------------------------
I troll 2L.com to be a better person in real life

True, jigging the shallow wrecks might pay off if you are the first one there. Years ago, we sat by the Lead wreck and watched the three boats already there toss jigs with no luck. Something shadowed deep under us as we sat, so we tossed out a live sardine; twenty minutes later we drove off with four 25lb plus Blackfin in the cooler. Luck makes the rules when it comes to fishing. lol

I was right.

Whats up with the bouys... Nothing updated since the 9th..????

nothing official but I heard that the building holding the servers that relay this info got flooded.

"I remember South Africa in the late 70's, sleeping on the beach at J-bay, smoking ganja with the blacks. On weekends we'd go to the pub in East London to drink beer and fight with the Afrikaners. They liked to fight, I liked to fight. It was a good time"

saw a small ray jump off cb pier two weekends ago, also lots of spanish around the tip could have got them casting off your board

-------------------------

Ran into a handful in close by 2nd light... Of course they were all empty... But at least there around and showing up hopefully...

Last year any south wind seemed to push the rays right in the surf and most were empty and the rays were not cruising but turning and looping around all bunched up. Although most were empty we did get a few fish in less than 12' of water but it seemed like 1 out of 20 had a fish vs when they are out deep. Also we never saw any of fish we hooked as I believe they were just trying to keep up with the loopy rays lol

-------------------------
I troll 2L.com to be a better person in real life

lots of spanish around

There were so many in the CB hood over the weekend I was worried about my fingers. A macker of an airborne spinner missed a guy just down from me by a few feet. The look on his face was hilarious, but then again, that shit is way more funny when it isn't you. lol

Lots of fish, just the wrong kind.

-------------------------
I was right.

Hot, cold, hot, cold; the fish have no clue as to where in the hell they need to be.
