Went out off DI last weekend, ended up north east of Wolf Rock I think its called the pinnacles. Not much biting on the bottom, spent an hour or so in one spot with a bit of burley going and wasn't getting much interest then just before we moved I got a massive hit on a plastic and ended up fighting something for about fifteen minutes before the leader and my braid parted ways (20lb braid and 30lb fluro leader and I didn't make ground on it the whole time). The usual colourful language followed. Another twenty minutes or so without a bite so we moved back towards the point and had only just anchored and started fishing when our floating pilly got smashed. Saw something surface about 25m from the boat and it got labelled a shark so we lost a bit of interest and the mate who hooked it up handed the rod to me and said you can finish off. Another five minutes later we get it to the edge of the boat an realize its a Cobia. It wasn't the most productive trip I've had but it's the first Cobia and the biggest fish the tinny has seen so far.
