RDNKHNTR77 Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 so last friday me and my buddy went on our first saltwater fishing excursion, and, to say the least, it was a BLAST!!! we did a half day, 6 hour trip and had non stop action the entire time. i was so used to pullin in 2 and 3 lb bass back home that the first fish i caught, a 10 lb. bonita, was unreal. we were targeting cobia in about 70 ft of water over a ship wreck. our captain had us usin light tackle so as to get a better fight since it was our first time and all, and my wrist was done after about 5 fish. we only ended up cathin 1 cobia, but the real treat was these 2 big African Pompano, or Permit, that took about 20 minutes each to get in the boat. captain said he hadnt seen one in 5 years in the daytona area, and we landed 2 of them in one day!!!! it was an absolute blast and i am now hooked on saltwater fishin. o yeah, and here r some pics the first is all the fish we caught and the second is my buddy doug on the left and myself on the right with our Pompano.

Guest Andrea Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 Re: First time saltwater fishin a success(pics) Looks good!!! Did you keep the bonitos??? How big was the cobia??? I hate fishing for those things. Seems like you waste so much time just riding around looking for them. Glad you had a great time. Next time, you should try an outift outta Destin.

RDNKHNTR77 Posted March 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 Re: First time saltwater fishin a success(pics) yeah, we kept the bonitos, but the captain used the meat for bait. the cobia was only 25 lbs., and we spotted a few more of them in the same area, they just werent hungry. btw the pompano were 38 and 34 lbs. respectively Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
