Pamela surprised Darren with a trip out with me as a Christmas present. We started out soft plasticing but it wasn't happening so we went chasing livies to chase mackerel. They were hard to get but we secured enough. We only started fishing for them at 9:00am which wasn't ideal but they were on the chew big time. We had run out of live bait by 12:00 so we changed tactics again and tried for some dolphinfish. They weren't on the job but we hooked up twice losing ok fish twice then we came good with the Cobia. I'll let the pictures do the talking. Also updated my December and January reports on my website.
