    Default Cobia

    I'm about to pour some 1 oz bucktails. Does anyone have a go to color scheme? I really have little to no experience with Cobia.

    Everyone I've fished for casting were out at reefs, they're not that smart. I've caught them on rebels, dark looking plastic eels, all sorts of stuff honestly.

    you need bigger- I usually use a 3 oz for casting and at least 8 oz jigging- white with a big red eye and a white grub trailer has always produced for me.

    You also need a big 3 legged cricket.

    most of my casting is around channel bouys or to fish cruising on the surface

    Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal? I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy but they're definitely dirty. But, a dog's got personality. Personality goes a long way.

    Just fling a piece of cut bait at them with no weight.

    Twitch it to get them excited....sort of pull it away from em when they lazily swim toward it. Eventually they will eat it.

    Think of them the same way you would a catfish...but they taste better
    Be proactive about improving public waterfowl habitat in South Carolina. It's not going to happen by itself, and our help is needed. We have the potential to winter thousands of waterfowl on public grounds if we fight for it.

    After you catch them, call me and I'll meet to take the trash fish off of your hands. Save you the trouble of cleaning them.
    I take an PLB in the shower with me. Can't ever be too safe.

    Whats it like to live w/o the Internet? Not bad, I get photos of your mom thought the mail....

    Put you a large pinfish or a 6 or 7 inch croaker under a large float and toss that bad boy near a buoy and sit tight
