LiveLine Charters Fishing Report

Had a full day live bait trip with a group in town from NY with a couple of Jr anglers. Started around 20 miles and found large schools of bait but no strikes to start. Then things started warming up around mid morning. We had lots of action with kings and a Mahi. Then a large Cobia came up behind the prop wash bait and ate the pogy. It must have been very hungry because it ate 3 baits at once and then broke us off with the mess. We threw him a pogy on a spinning rod with 80 lb braid and a quick fight to the boat. My 8 foot gaff paid the price for gaffing a green cobia but the fish was in the boat. The wind picked up in the afternoon and we went and played with a couple of AJs and Cudas. Another day of multiple species with live bait.

Had a 3/4 day live bait trip with a couple anglers from Ocean Isle. Started around 10 miles and had a nice king sky on the short bait then things were a little slow. Headed out 20 miles looking for some Mahi. Found some small Mahi we caught on spinning tackle and had great action on kings until the wind picked up. Also Ron caught a nice Cobia on 8 lb test jigging over a bait school. Also had a 30 lb Cuda eat the long line and did some high acrobatics before we let her go. Good action all day with a lot of species.
