Catch cobia.

That's pretty much it.

For you guys that want to catch a cobia... one word of advice. MAKE SURE he is wore out before boating him. You'll be amazed at the damage a green one can do! Box him or get the hell out of his way.

I have never targeted them, they have allways been a by catch and allways close to shore king fishing, both live baiting and speed trolling. Caught 4 so far, great eating.

AS a kid I participated in the boating of one. We were in NC in a boat that was way too smal for Beaufort inlet. That cobia broke a tackle box, tossed a net and a cooler out of the boat, and left a welt on my thigh that was there for a week.

Several of you mentioned your kids and fishing.

I got my son started at age 3. Caught a few bluegill, he loved it. Last year I upgraded him to a zebco reel on an uglystick rod. He can cast it like a champ. Catches fish, reels them in, and is an animal. I'm waiting for the croaker run to solidify to get him out soon :-). He was catching bluefish two at a time on an outing last summer, it was amazing!

Don't underestimate your kids. Age 3-4 is good enough for a snoopy rod. About age 5 upgrade them to at least a half decent buttoncast, if not a spinning rod. This summer I'm teaching him to use one.

I want to watch the THT guys in their 23' er's going 45-50 mph in 6-8's.

Seriously, just to get out more often than last year.

More coastal boating!

We shook down O2 today and she's ready to go!

Fishing: Cobia on a casting plug or jig, one limit of flounder, swordfish, crush the spadefish. Boating: Use the boats more!

[MONSTANOREASTA]

To catch less Garbage bags, seaweed, skates and dogfish!!

[ReelNauti]

Mine are simple.

Boat and fish more...work less.

So far I am failing!

1. See my son catch his first Dolpin bull.
