GREAT cobia fishing for Catch 22! 1-16-11

There has been some fantastic cobia fishing down here in Islamorada, Florida Keys.  The Catch 22 caught there limit here today, and letting many others go.  About 12 cobias up to 65 lbs, 20 kings, and a nice sail!  Check it out, way to go Capt. Scott Stanczyk!  Fishing for cobias is usually great this time of year, all the way through February!  The cold waters in the gulf of mexico have flushed many of these fish out into the warmer Atlantic ocean.  These fish are caught often by spotting large rays, turtles, and other large sea creatures, which have the schools of fish following them.  Live baits are casted with heavy weights to sink them to the bottom in front of the fish, often live grunts are favorites of the larger fish!  Sometimes you will see cobia on the surface tailing as well, this is very cool when you can sight cast and watch them eat!  As the waters warm up with stable weather, the fish should pop back up in the gulf on the wrecks and structures there, offering great sportfishing opportunity to those vessels there, including many backcountry guides who fish the edge of the everglades national park!  Come on down and let's go fishing!  1-800-742-7945 - Bud n' Mary's Fishing Marina
