I headed out fishing Sunday 7/3/11 with my brother Brian and nephew Jace.
Our fishing trip got off to a very good start as we caught a lot of live bait quickly in the early morning about 15 miles offshore of surfside, Tx.
Then things slowed down we stopped and fished a few wrecks and rocky areas - but came up empty except for Jace's Kingfish.....
We headed west - over to the sunken Liberty Ships (USS Fogg) and Brian caught some throwback Red Snapper and several nice kingfish.
We headed a little more offshore and tried fishing near a old sunken oil rig - again nothing - we were about 40 miles offshore at this point - it was getting late - so decided to work our way back home to surfside.
On our way back Brian spotted a nice weedline with a lot of small dolphin fish (Mahi-Mahi) and we started catching them one after another.
All the noise in the water lured a ~35# Cobia (Ling) up to the boat and it gave Jace hard fight .... I gaff him into the fish box and his next swim will be in tarter sauce....
