We headed out Saturday at 9:00pm for an all niter. Ended up watching the sun rise to the east as we returned from our red snapper excursion. Unfortunately we were unable to boat a single red snapper. 2 years ago in July with the same crew we were able to catch a limit of mangos, 4 red snapper, and a 42in 28lb cobia. So we returned to the same # 25 miles west of Johns pass. This time there were no reds, but we did manage a limit of mangos up to 5 lbs, and I boated a 42in 28lb cobia. I am really loving the 3# we found 2 years ago. We also had to throw back a really nice 30 in gag. Might try again if the wife doesn't kill me first.
The haul.

Preparing for the shot.

Nice cobe, we had the opposite, limit of 18 to 20lb red snaps in an hour, and only a few mangroves.
