Beaufort Cobia report May 24 to May 26

well boys I've officially decided to retire from Cobia fishing. IMHO its not what its cracked up to be .After three days of chumming , wreck fishing and drift Fishing I think I know every shark , sting ray and sea turtle in the beaufort area on a first name basis. Chumming works very well especially if you like catching large sand tiger sharks that will fowl all your lines but they are a hoot to catch .I caught 3 sea turtles at the AR 315 wreck on dead mullet which I de hooked but I hate to catch them. For some reason sting rays are all over the place and I hooked my anchor line to an anchor ball 6 times to be pulled all over the inlet by some big ones until I saw what they were and cut them off. The spanish are coming on strong so i think I will try to catch some...Frank
