Phil and his buddy Mike are down fishing this week and next from Gainesville, Ga.
Phil has had weather problems in the past. Usually of the tropical storm variety. But, except for evening thunderstorms, this week's weather has been very Florida like, hot, sticky and an evening shore breeze followed by thunderstorms.
They followed Nancy and I out off the 24 marker Thursday and as Phil says, the jinx was broken. Don't know if his comment was weather or fish related, but Mike put a nice 40" cobia in the box.
This crab cruncher was caught out off the barge and ate a downlined pinfish.
When we pulled up on the site, I could see cobia swimming with the spade fish.
I caught this non keeper cobia free lining a pinny.
Nancy and I took the SeaCraft out to a couple of grunt holes and put a few in the ice box that tasted mighty fine last night adorning a soft taco shell.
Phil is down for another week, so I'm keeping an eye on the weather. I'm sure a tropical storm is near.
