Default Uneventful Charter

We took a charter for Cobia and Big Red Drum yesterday, noon to 10pm at the mouth of the bay. We caught one undersized cobia within the first 20 mins. After that, nothing but a few small sharks, skates and rays, no more cobia, no drum.

Maybe I am cursed. I can't even pay someone to catch fish for me.

I have fished hard 4 out of the last 5 days. Three days offshore for the tuna-ment. No tuna, few mahi. And a long cobia charter with one undersized fish. I am beginning to wonder why I do this?

Just be glad you are fishing.. I havent fished in about 4 weeks due to travel, vacation, etc.

The opportunity to catch a fish is what draws us. you will be back for more. look at it this way, you paid your dues and you are bound to have a big day soon. (but you gotta get back out to have it)

My post was a little over-dramatic this morning. I didn't get back home until about 3am last night so I was working on about 3 hours sleep. Maybe I am saving all my fish Karma up for the White Marlin Open.

Jeremy your fine.. If I posted all the " non catching" reports, you'd all think I was a complete douche.

Consider this " paying your dues".. One day, and probably sooner than later, you'll get into the " targeted species".

I'm just going to start targeting Mahi and small sharks. Maybe I will pick up a tuna and some cobia as by-catch.

What are you talking about? Everybody already thinks that despite the reports you post!

Funny story- I work at a university w/ a lot of non-US students. So I'm walking thru the cafeteria area leaving the building one day and I hear this young male asian Indian student say to his friends "Well that must be something you put a used douche into."

Took about 2 seconds to realize what he was saying. LMAO (to myself) as I continued out the door.

Jeremy, I went on that same noon to 10:00 charter on Sunday and we caught about 35 rays and several sharks. We did manage to catch 4 keeper Cobia but struck out on the red drum. We had one BIG red drum spool us and straighten out the hook......in seconds We went down and back in the same day too. Every day is different. Hope you get on them soon...............Gary
