Might have wondered what you had on. They fight blue blazes even tiddlers.

Cobia are actually very
You guys are really surprised? .Cobia are actually very common in Perth. Mainly speared though. Guy across the road from us when i was younger was world champ for a few years. This was 15 years ago!. Use to get heaps of them. I remember he use to lay all the fish out on his lawn. Use to walk over and look, as a kid i thought it was the coolest thing ever. Bonus of that is we had a never ending supply of Jewfish, Baldchin, Pinkies, KG, Mackies, Black Arse, just about anything you can think of!
I love fishing. It`s escaping reality for a few hours for me!
