I've been hearing of a bunch of people catching small cobes at sikes.

We have been catching several for the last few weeks every time we go. Have also seen a couple thrown up on the pier dead which really ticks me off. I guess some people figure if its not something they want to eat then just take it off the hook and leave it on the pier to die!Its unreal how many dead fish we throw back in the water walkingon and off the pier.We also seen one that was filleted and left on the pier. All of these fish have been about 12-15 inches.

i must have caught over a dozen of them thursday on ly's trying to spanish fish, the biggest being about 10 inches. had to put down the rod and pick up the mullet net due to the large schools thatkept swimming by, i'de rather wait and catch em about 40 lbs or so don't want to hurt the little fellas.

I was out there today and we picked up a little cobe that was still trying to breathe and threw it back. Its amazing how irresponsible some of the people out there are. You can walk down that bridge and see deadbaby cobia, stingrays, catfish, eels, pinfish, and whatever else they leave out there. I know a catfish can make you mad when you catch one, but throw it back!

thats horrible leaving fish to die on the bridge...i went a couple week s ago and there were litterally thousands of LYs on there...i know you cant help how many you catch but if theres that many throw a smaller net.

You aint kidding! A friend and I and his son were out there and a couple of guys just kept throwing there net and dumping them on the bridge! They weren't even using them for bait. Once they left I started kicking all of them over.

It's ticks me off to see all the dead fish on sikes too. I know catfish can be annoying but damn.....

Also another friend of mine caught a guy with a bucket full of baby cobia. He informed they guy and he didn't care so my friend called FWC and they never showed up........

yeah, it's pretty damn pathetic... but then again, take a look at alot of the people who fish out there, some are very respectable people who actually know what they're doing, but quite a few don't exactly look like conservationist...

i would have picked that bucket of cobia up and thrown it over the side, then thrown the guy over too, it's a damn shame the 'ooh might FWC' can't get there when the office is what... 10 minutes away!

I personally do not kill anything purposely unless I am going to eat it or use it as a bait. I cant stand when people just leave the fish to die on the bridge either..what are the people just too damn lazy to throw it back?? And for the people keeping little cobes, I understand that there are some people who dont know what it is or its regulations, but most out there do. They better not let me catch them keeping them...especially not a bucketfull.:banghead
