Hot and no wind, finally.
Headed out with Larry and Phil. They came down from N. Ga. to do a meat run and the fish didn't disappoint.
Being the first boat out of Lanark this morning, it was smooth sailing to K Tower, the Sea Hunt was running 30 mph with a full load.
On my second cast to the tower with a buck tail with a white twister tail attached, a big cobia decided he wanted it for breakfast.
I managed to get him about 15 feet from the tower and then he figured out he was hooked and ripped the 65 lb. power pro line into the barnacle encrusted tower and that was that.
I saw him swimming back and forth all morning, taunting me with the jig hanging out of his mouth like some type of award.
Phil had a keeper cobia bust him off at the boat. Barracuda were on the prowl all morning slashing the bait against the tower.
We decided to head over to some numbers about 3 miles from K tower and as we were pulling over the hole and saw what looked like the christmas tree of snapper on Phil's Lowrance.
We pulled over the spot and the look was confirmed.
We caught 4 red snapper off this spot. Ah a month or two too late.

| Larry's Snapper Coming Up To The Boat |
We managed to place a bunch of pink mouth snapper, black sea bass and porgies in the cooler here and to a lesser degree on several places on the way back in to the hill.
We stopped at the cut on the east end of Dog Island and caught a few nice blues that were schooling there and put a couple in the cooler.
We also played with the big ladyfish schools that had acres of bait frothing trying to get wings as the ladies were gorging themselves on a Labor Day feast.
Got to the hill, loaded the boat and headed to Carrabelle for the cleaning fest, boat and fish.
Great day on the water with two NE Georgians.
