catching cobbler
Submitted by rockoe_ on Sun, 2011-07-03 21:39
i've been lazy all weekend so being a nice night i thought i might try my luck at my local jetty for some squid.After about an hour or so of casting jigs around and no sign of any squid,i decided it was time to call it a night.On my way back up the boat ramp i was looking to see what fish were in the water and then i couldnt believe my eyes.7 big fat cobbler all sitting about 1m from the shore and no gidgee ,all i could do was laugh.thats what i get for not being prepeared i guess.
has any had much luck catching them on rod and reel? i've only ever speared them so any advice would be much appreciated
i thought i may aswell i'd add a photo of my pb cobbler i got a little while back it went 62cm :)

cobbler rig
ball or bean sinker running,small swivel to a leader 10 - 20 lbs 2 to 1/o baitholder hook and use prawns or bloodworms as bait and also free spool setting on reel and another tip keep very quite when fishing for cobbler,they are very easily spooked,this is how i used to catch them ages ago,hopes this helps
