    Caught 12 or so in a private pond in GA, the water was very clear and it was a great learning experience to see how the fish react before they hit my spook or ate my worm.

    what sucks is that they are down to 1 per person...so shitty..im sick of the govt getting involved with bullshit data saying our fishery is being overfished when we are seeing some of the best snapper and grouper fishhing in the past like 15 years. snapper are closed still. seabass are closed till june. once they open they can be closed at any time. BULLSHIAT

    Well, how most fishing stories go.... I went fishing yesterday and caught a 4 or 5 lber. There are photos of the fish........... on my new phone that died completely lastnight while at work. I havent figured out how to get the photos on TW yet so there is maybe 4 pics that need to be sent to TW. I am getting a new phone today so hopefully the sim card that is in the phone stores my photos. I am so glad that this early in the season I am catching 4 -5 lbers. This is on a decent sized private lake and the fishing is already starting off good.

    Dad had a buddy from work come into town this weekend and wanted to get on the cobia. Went out Saturday (5/5) to some pretty calm seas and high hopes. Worked it all day to only find 2 fish with lockjaw. Quite discouraging.

    Got up today (5/6) and figured we would head to Nassau Sound to see if we could get anything going...NADA. Went back to our original strategy and we found em..

    Fished the pogy pods. I think we pulled 6 fish off of two pods. First pod had 3 swimming around it. Pulled two off of it and in the box they went. Dad got one and his buddy got one.
    [​IMG]

    Got the boat cleaned up..went right back to the pod. And the third fish was still swimming around it. Got dads buddy to get into another fish and in the box he went. (Tad smaller than the smaller fish in the picture) At this point we had our limit. Time for catch and release.

    Moved to another pod and found 3 more fish. Got dads buddy to hook up another one. Fought him to the boat and got a quick release.

    Then it was my turn. Went back to the same pod and found a few more swimming around it. I got hooked up. You know its an awesome cobia fishing day when you release a fish like this to swim another day!
    [​IMG]

    Dads buddy got a picture of my fish from the bow of the boat. Hate to let a big one swim.
    [​IMG]

    While I was fighting my fish dads buddy got another fish hooked up that was tagging along with mine. So that brings the hookup count to 6 with 3 in the box and 3 left for another day!

    Cool shot from the tower
