Nth Coast Cobes

[mono]

Hi all, just thought you might want to have a look at a few cobia caught yesterday off shore from Brunswick.
The southerly wind had a bit of a kick to it so we decided to find some livies before heading out wide.
The problem was we found a great school of slimies and yakkas on a secret little rock that is normally a great provider of big slimies, but couldnt get them to the surface quick enough!
Once the first slimie did make it up on the jig it was pinned on a adjustable floater rig and deployed straight back down.
It didnt take long and the suck and rattle of cobia was detected, fed him a bit more line and whammo, hook-up.
For the next few hours we had a ball although the conditions were sloppy.
Lost quite a lot of fish also due to striking too early.
Didnt make it out wide, but hey, as the old saying goes
"Dont leave fish to catch fish".

Cheers
Capt Mark 'Mono' Stewart

Nice cobes Mono.

Guessed you must have a secret livie spot with the tuna boats regularly pulling everything off wilsons reef. ;)

Saw a strong wind warning on BOM for Byron, supposed to arrive there yesterday evening. Looks like you did well getting in early.

Just wondering if you could have got the cobes with jigged metal slugs in that situation when they were knocking off you livies before reaching the surface?

Cheers

Nice one Mono!!
Been a heap up this way lately too, some of the reefs have had them so thick it's hard to get a bait down!! Mainly 8-10kg fella's, but the odd big one as well. There was one caught at around the 60lb mark!!

Regards, Tony
