Took my son David and friends for a 1/2 day live bait trip before the wind was supposed to pick up. Fished the tide line at Carolina Beach inlet for a while but the water was too stirred up with the SW swell. Decided to let the boys play with some AJs. Had them every drift until they boys had enough. Also had a couple of Cudas. Started slow trolling again and caught 2 nice Spanish 4 lbs and 6 lbs. Had couple of small kings and then at just before leaving we hooked a nice Sailfish. He put on a great show with plenty of jumps close to the boat. We released him in good shape. Sorry I forgot the camera so no pictures.

Had a full day live bait trip with a group in town from NY with a couple of Jr anglers. Started around 20 miles and found large schools of bait but no strikes to start. Then things started warming up around mid morning. We had lots of action with kings and a Mahi. Then a large Cobia came up behind the prop wash bait and ate the pogy. It must have been very hungry because it ate 3 baits at once and then broke us off with the mess. We threw him a pogy on a spinning rod with 80 lb braid and a quick fight to the boat. My 8 foot gaff paid the price for gaffing a green cobia but the fish was in the boat. The wind picked up in the afternoon and we went and played with a couple of AJs and Cudas. Another day of multiple species with live bait.
