Krispy ! Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 hey raiders went for a flick this arvo on the harbour just using little 3 inch power baits , not much happening aside from a lot of 25cm snapper then something a bit better jumped on, pulled abit of string on my 1000 stradic and 6lb but eventually it tired out and started to swim with me. I thought I had a little shark as it came up but then did a double take and realised it was a cobia. had to walk it around to a safe spot where I could reach down and grab it because it wasn't hooked very well but eventually landed it. The last one I caught was 5 years ago and it tasted great so this one came home as well, it went 59cm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoingFishing Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 A rare catch ! Well done I've never caught nor eaten cobia - how are they on the table ? Any fish u can compare them to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahab Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 We caught some decent cobia off South west rocks some years ago and they were sensational eating. In fact I put them above Spanish mackerel but not as fishy. The kids loved them as well. Cut into cubes, flour salt and pepper and then shallower fried sensational.

NaClH2OK9 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 I'm going to admit I had to do a double check for size limit. Very well done. That's got to be a rare catch off Sydney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done I've never caught nor eaten cobia - how are they on the table ? Any fish u can compare them to? Theyre right up there with the best mate, similar to kingfish We caught some decent cobia off South west rocks some years ago and they were sensational eating. In fact I put them above Spanish mackerel but not as fishy. The kids loved them as well. Cut into cubes, flour salt and pepper and then shallower fried sensational.

Mike89 Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Nice fish. Must have been good fun on the little reel. Seen them around here and there but never thought about how I might catch one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
