here goes the report.. be ready its long

9/6..

Launch at 0630 at west pass(gulf shores) Start paddling out and see BIG spanish busting bait everywhere! I decide to troll a couple of cigs and start slinging a gotcha.. every cast with the gotcha is producing some stud spanish(26inch +) so i get a few in the boat and decide to head on out a lil farther.. My big rod starts screamin.. fish on! puts up a hell of a fight and takes me over 45 mins to get it close.. then i catch sight of it and i bout pissed myself... LING!LING! i start gettin a lil nervouse and finally get it boat side and my other reel starts screamin.. i could care less at this point as i see just how big this COBIA is.. go to gaff it and it spits the hook :banghead:banghead:banghead... This fish could of easily gone 60 lbs!! Exasperated i realise my other rod is close to getting spooled.. So i chase the fish down and get about a 12 lb king in the boat.. action was hot all day.. Also hooked 3 tarpon!!

Amazing sightings today...1 Sailfish... a small one but still.. hooked 2 small blackfin tuna!! none boated:banghead also hooked 2 small dolphin.. again neither boated.. but heres the pics from day 1

DAY 2

Launched 0630 bait every where..

paddled hard about 2 miles off shore... big kings skying everywhere.. throw out one rod to troll.. before it's even in the rod holder my drag is screamin.. got about a 25 lb king boatside and let him go.. i had a feelin today would be a good day..

get both rods in water to troll.. one rigged with a dusted and other just wire..

see a school of fish busting.. throw the gotcha and before i close the bail BAM king on.. while i'm fighting it one of the trolling rods goes off.. and it is really screamin.. so the small king stays on the rod while i jack the biggin up.. i end up losing the small one but i could really care less.. finally after gettin drug around a while i get the beast in.. 32 lber.. pretty good mornin so far.. get the gaff in and he's boated...

I'm seriously at a loss for words.

Great job man.

How are you rigging your cigs when your trolling them?

captken

Sounds like you need to get rid of 7-Strand. Great report. Wish I had bee out there with you.

i was rigging one cig with just wire and a 2 treble hook stinger rig...

And my other was rigged the same way but i added a 1/4 ounce duster pink and white..

The duster produced more hits..

Capt. Ken.. I know i probably should but i always have problems with single strand.. but i just dont know what to do
