Cole Posts: 68411 Joined Forum: 07/22/2003	I didn't find out about Cobia till I had a 40 lber bagged up in the fridge. Turns out they are one of the worst. The opossums ate well that night. One of the most successful captains in Brevard can no longer touch fish from our waters due to his glowing complexion. ------------------------- I was right.

Plan B Posts: 3302 Joined Forum: 03/08/2004	I really wasnt aware of Cobia being merc filled as well, but it makes sense. They live a long time, live close to the coast (hence eating more polluted baitfish) and the biomagnification goes up from there (I'm sure like Kings, the smaller, the safer)....... just so sad because they're prob one of my favorite fish to catch and EAT!

He also said what ruined Florida was a/c and bug spray --> too many ppl. I would add Disney World to that list. Edited: 10/17/2018 at 06:14 AM by Wedgefield

woundupintx Posts: 104 Joined Forum: 10/11/2013	I wish it was new but no way I could afford that. I got a really good deal on it, it's a 2008. The motor had 300 hrs, jack plate and power pole. Just got my ipilot delivered today! Unfortunately I gotta go back to work tmrw, I work in the Gulf of Mexico and won't have time to install it til I get home in a few weeks...hopefully the red tides gone by then. I usually just fish alone or with my girlfriend when she can go, so if anyone ever wants to go fishing hit me up and come along. I need someone to help a brother out lol. Been out 5 times, between mathers bridge to south of 192. And 3 times around the inlet, flats and islands around there and all I've caught are two small trout and a ton of junk fish! I didn't think it was gonna be this difficult lol. I'm sure I'll get it figured out in time

I didn't think it was gonna be this difficult lol. I'm sure I'll get it figured out in time Sounds like a nice little rig. Those ipilots are game changers when fishing alone. I'd take you up on the invite, but I'm up in St. Augustine, and not to familiar with your area (I'm sure some peeps here can help you out) Luckily our inshore waters up here usually get a pretty good douching by our 2 inlets, but inshore I usually just fish artificials. (may catch less fish, but I have more fun... and less junk fish) but that rig can get you off the beach for Tarpon, Kings and other pelagics seasonally when conditions allow (especially down there.... you guys have deeper water close it) Good luck
