plankton Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 (edited) A friend of mine sent me these pictures of a Cobia (from his mobile phone) while I was sitting at the pub last Sunday. Almost fell off the chair. Edited March 10, 2010 by plankton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zen801 Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 Hi Brett, Mate your friend did well to catch a cobia. We caught one several years ago near Grotto Point. When there are lots of kings you will get the odd cobia in the mix. I am surprised that no big ones has been caught considering the amount and quality of other fish like kings that have been on offer this season.

wannabefisho Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 I saw someone catch one off middle head one morning on a pillie. Great lookin fish they are, esp when you see one first hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stealthmission Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 Knowing your mate... I was (as per usual) a bit suss on his record of the catch... although this time the background and the fact he was in a boat made it likely! So Bretto... when are you next coming up for a session off the beach/rocks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plankton Posted March 15, 2010 Author Share Posted March 15, 2010 Ha yeah his catches normally are a worry.... Mate I'm thinking about getting away next weekend. Spose we'll talk about it at Longy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
