With Ca[pt Michael catching a lot of cobia recently, Chet and I decided to try to get in on the action. The day before, Capt Michael caught 24 of these fish. We left the dock loaded for bear at about 7:45 and idled out the Cotee. Mike reported catching them on the flats North of the Cotee, so that’s where we headed. We fished these flats for several hours but did not a ray or a cobia so we went further West to our secret spot. Dropped a chum bag and fished there for an hour or so. While there, I caught a 22.5: Spanish, and Chet caught a smooth-skinned puffer. We also caught ladyfish, seabass, squirrelfish, and a bunch of others but no cobia. We motored back into the flats inside the stilt houses and motored around for another hour before pulling the plug. Seas were flat, sky’s sunny and a nice day lacking the target specie
