Opti-Jr's Personal Best Fish 5-22-11

We are learning more each time we try for Cobia, and I think we have been pretty successful :sunglasses:. We as a family are set for the year and if we go anymore it will be to take friends or for catch and release. One big Cobia is enough for us to enjoy till next year.

Had the family out Sunday. Some pics of our day:

Ian has a problem: He can’t lift the fish he caught LOL!

Earlier trip produced this nice 36"er for BOSN. A great pic!

Wow, very nice. Looks like you guys had a great time. That is definitely what it is all about.

NICE! I love the t-shirt with the fish talking.

All I can say is get out and give it a try. I have been focussing on the 3 inshore fish for a while and love the challenge of something new. On my 2011 list are:

Spanish
Tarpon
Donkeys (a.k.a. Amberjack)
Spades

Seafox 187CC

Ditto on the Tarpon
