It’s April and the Cobia are here! Plenty of Cobia being brought into the docks in the 30-40lb range as well as some whoppers up to 70+ lbs.
Kings, bonita, spanish and some blackfin tuna are being caught while trolling.
Bottom fishing for amberjack, trigger and mingo snapper has been productive as well.
Nice slot-sized Redfish are biting in the bay.
