First Permit 4/4
Headed out early on my boat for the first time in over a month
 Hit up the reef and got swept a couple hundred yards down current pretty fast so my buddy and I made the decision to drift the rest of the day. Around 10 am I shot an ~40 lb cobia right through the top of the head and out the other side but somehow he managed to wriggle off  Needles to say I was frustrated and about the only relief was getting back in the water. We continued drifting for another 6 hours or so before I saw the flash of a tail under some rocks. I dove down to investigate and this guy was down there. Shot him once and he went crazy bending my shaft against the rocks so I got another gun from the boat and shot him again. The permit went 26 pounds, not bad for my first one. Seas were 1-2 and vis was top to bottom in 50 feet. The cobia and the permit were the only two legal sized fish I saw all day and between my friend and I we drifted close to 10 miles. |
