Panama City's First Cobia

jewfish · 03-30-2008, 09:41 AM

First cobia of the year for Panama City Beach came from the pier. Yup, the little St.Andrew's pier that ends in maybe 3 or 4 feet of water. Fish went 43 pounds at Half Hitch, swam right up to the pier and took a jig, Congratulations to Marshal Pritchard.

I always get a kick out of pier fishing, especially when everyone has been looking for them all over and the first one is caught in three feet of water, off the pier.:clap

BTW, there was another one caught out of a boat, maybe 1/2 mile off the beach, east of Old Pass arouund 2pm. It was 59 pounds. I watched that one being caught and it was a fat fish.

Okaloosa pier almost had their first one yesterday but when they got it up close to the pier it broke off on the pylon. That one was about a 30 pounder and they saw one more while I was there but didnt get hooked. There was a lot of people fishing for cobia.
