This last weekend, "Adam the King Killer" and I headed offshore to try to get some cobia, which were rumored to be on and around Hatzel shoal. I tentatively planed to head straight east and troll north along the 70 ft bar until the sun came up and we could start sight fishing. But, as it’s been the last 4 or 5 times we’ve been out, the seas were too uncomfortable to run straight east so we headed out to 8A again. We trolled for an hour or so and had three or four hits but nothing was hooking up. Until the last hit we got on the smallest rod we had, which produced the biggest king we’ve caught to date. This 22 pounder was a nice surprise on what would have been a slow morning. Other than that, the sun never came out so we didn’t travel any further north thus wasting more gas and time and made it a little shorter day.
