Slow day near shore (R8)

It was rougher than expected. 2-4 ft was a lot of 3s at 4-5 seconds. We went to Capers reef and messed around for the day. It was a nice day we had 2 huge cobia hang our under the boat for several hours. They only would bite Black Sea Bass on the way up. We lost 6. 4 were cut off on the leader and 2 were fun. The cobia held the BSB in its mouth and gave us a 5 minute fight until they got tired of it and let go…. Pulling back a mangled BSB. I tried pinfish, butterfish, eels…etc… to no avail. It was a nice day on the water with my old man and a buddy from CLT and his son. Drank some beer and enjoyed the breeze

we too were out there and although we saw the spade fish come up twice for just a couple of minutes …could not get them to bite anything and they quickly disapeared. We caught some fat ringtails, some blach sea bass and a small sheep…but when it started getting a little roughter opted to run in

Salty dog - we did… the only way they would take it was on the way up… actually they did take one on the 100lb mono but cut right through… just an unlucky day. After that they got smart… and only hit BSBs on the way into the boat…
