@@frankdavis_62 yes, I’m aware of the situation. Hence my comment.

I think that's an unladen swallow. What's it's airspeed velocity.

Thanks for waiting…. This year tho was probably the worst showing for cobia on the rays, population is tanking hard. Seemed that the few fish on the rays were undersized and a few keeper fish that are right there….. sucks to see such a great fishery destroyed

I didn't do well on shallow rays but when we found them out deep, there were lots of fish, but no size. Same thing I see diving on the sharks the past few years. A 40lb fish wasn't even big in 2016, now it's the biggest of the season. I think several things lead to it, but sharks eating 10+ cobia a day for each boat is the #1 problem in my book.

@@JoeyAntonellido you think the fish that are on the beach that migrate all the way up north are the same fish on the sharks? Seems like both our summer fish and migrators have decreased in population and size…

What I have learned from the researchers in tagging that we have done is this. There are three groups of cobia. Fish that migrate from east florida up the northeast, fish that migrate from east florida down around and up the other side, and residential east coast of florida fish. All three schools overlap central east florida. The biggest fish now seem to be from the carolinas up to N.J.

Seems like we used to have a lot more beach fish, specifically free swimmers always headed north on the beach during the spring, you could follow them almost all the way to jax, now those fish seemed to have disappear so you think the population is down on all subgroups? Only caught one tagged fish on a ray during the spring that was from Virginia

Koey, if you'd please; quit calling the fish "he" and "buddy". These people need Salvation from sentient fish dinners.
