Jacksonville 7-15-10

Haven't been here in a long time, mostly because I haven't been fishing in a long time!

Just now thought to share my fishing pics from last July from Jacksonville. I had never fished in the Atlantic, so I wanted to go at least once, and I am glad I did! I wanted to get a party trip together, but nobody else showed up that day, so I paid for a full day's trip by myself (my wife & girls do not like to fish at all), and had an incredible day trolling & bottom fishing.

I had too much fun that day, and I brought a freezer full of fish home with me. I will definitely go back when I can.

Nice cobia!

Are those Mackeral or Wahoo? Great catch! I'm sure it made for great eating.

Those are King Mackerel. I haven't caught a wahoo yet, but I would like to.

Nice Cobia, and gotta love those Smoker Kings. Everytime we fish Jacksonville it always seems to be for Reds, Trout, and Flounder, I need to explore a little more. How far out were you?

Thanks. I've caught a few fish of that size before (a shark or two and previous kings in the Gulf), but I can't remember ever having that much fun.

We fished several spots, from about 9 miles out to 26 miles. Never been fishing that far from shore before.
