I had David, Gary and Chip in town from Raleigh for a full day live bait and trolling. The weather continued to blow hard SW but went offshore to try some live bait fishing. Set up for the 1st drift and David had the 1st fish. After a a short battle it came to the top and it was a large Cobia then she saw the boat and took off. It took another 10 minutes to bring her back to the gaff. She was 52 inches long and weighed 52 lbs. The next drift the AJs started eating and we had double headers most drifts. Started hand feeding then next to the boat. After a couple of hours of great action decided to move off shore and try some trolling for Mahi. The winds and seas increased to 4 to 5 feet but managed to get a couple Mahi hooked and landed a small bull. Moved back inshore and did some slow trolling for kings but no takers.
