Beach cobes

I went to shark bay over Easter, with mates and families. Great to see there's still some quality exploring to be had up there, although not surprising considering how huge that area is. We found a nice beach that had schools of 3-4kg+ tailor everywhere, trevally, little pinkies, etc, and like many places up there was super shallow, under 1m deep.

A big surprise was the amount of hungry cobia hanging out with the stingrays. Sight casting gold twisties and watching these cobes peel off and chase your lure in crystal clear skinny water all the way to your knees, then hit and run over 100m was fuckin epic, and what made it more fun was these were all on our squidding gear. 15-20minute fights the normal. My record was 3 cobia in a 2 hour session, amongst the 30-odd tailor we caught and released.

We should have! Weatherman was an asshole, and it blew when it shouldn't and didn't when it should! We did manage an island day trip, and it was well and truely worth it. Sharks aren't getting any less or smaller tho!
