Reef Update: Cobia, Kings & Sharks

The reef has been fishing good over the last four days — with plenty of sharks around — and we put a keeper cobia in the box with a solid king mackerel bite.

Over the last four days (March 13–16), the reef has been fishing good and we’ve been able to put together some nice trips.

One big theme lately: the sharks are around. They’ve been keeping us honest, but we’ve still been able to make the best of it and get the right bites to the boat.

We caught a keeper cobia, which is always a great fish for the box, and the king mackerel bite has been good as well.

We’ll be fishing offshore the next few days and we’re hoping to report back with some big fish.
