Found some time tuesday after lunch to head solo offshore and planned to go to caloundra wide for a fish on dusk.
Went lookin for some livies at the usual spots and was greeted by 4 cobia swimming up to the back of the boat.
Tried soft plastics and chrome slugs but managed only a couple of followers but no hook ups.
Picked down and burlied for one smash up and one hook up.
Ended up having to chase it across the bay but managed to land it after 25 minutes.
Went back to retrieve the anchor and decided to have another crack on the drift for another hook up and a 15 minute fight for number two.
Arms now a bit longer the trek out to wide cal postponed and headed home for a big filleting session.
The smaller one went 18kg and the big one estimated at around 40kg.
Scoota...
