keep an eye out for Cobia.....heard its been ON for em the last few days....break out of the inlet, and keep an eye out for brown bombers!!
give it about 2-3 weeks and try the trout hole; used to kill them out there
I caught around 50 bluefish in New Smyrna last week.
If they're catching them here they are all tight lipped about it.Quote:

Fished Hatteras all last week....not much happening. Few big bluefish, and short flounder was the story up and down the beaches.
Love flounder fishing, great report! As for the cobia, from what I've seen and heard the cobia action has been hit or miss, in my opinion resulting from changing weather patterns. When the winds blow north the bait and fish are off the beach a bit and for the most part has been too rough to see anything in the water without a nice tower. When the weather turns to the south the bait comes back in, but yet still it's been too rough around where we fish to see anything. My family and myself have been 80 miles or so without seeing the first pod of menhaden in the last week. Not saying the bait isn't there, just saying it isn't close to shore and thick as it has been in the last couple years. I remember last year wearing shorts and a t shirt while fishing at this time and this year we're having to wear coats until noon. The cobia bug is obviously catching on as well, and the number of unexperienced boaters are making for plenty of entertainment while waiting for another ray.
Tues: caught 27 flounder ad only 3 keepers one at 18''. Water the same. South the South Eas winds all three days and no sign of bait in the inlet or sound.
Wed. NO RAIN. Water warmed to 73 degrees. Caught 29 flounder and only 4 were keepers the biggest going 16 3/4
man you're hammering the flatfish... you must be having a terrible time!
Terrible. So bad I'm coming home Saturday.Quote:

Fri: The last day, started out really windy then calmed down and got hot. Water stayed around 72 all day. There was 25 flounder caught today with only one keeper. I caught 23 of the 25 and none of them was a keeper. This was the worst day for extremely small fish, most were less than 10''
