Catching Not Fishing!
What a trip with The Schreck Family this morning! We pulled up to 
one go my honey holes and caught these 3 big redfish on the first 3 cast!
What a way to start the trip but the action keep on going as we caught
several more redfish and had non stop action on sharks while we were
cobia fishing. The sharks were biting so fast they didn't give the cobia
a chance to bite.

Happy Mothers Day!

Best cobia bite of the year so far today! We caught one nice little
cobia this morning and had an unreal shark bite on blacktip, bull, 
bonnet head, dusky and reef sharks. This afternoon the cobia bite
was on and we ended up catching 3 cobia with a 30 pounder being 
the biggest of the day.

Cobia come in all shapes and sizes. This little guy pictured above
with one of my return clients who was hoping for a keeper fish for
the grill but unfortunately the cobia were to small to keep. We did
have by the way the best shark bite I have had all year and caught
6 bull sharks, 2 black tips and 12 reef sharks!  Action packed trip!

5/2/12 OFF THE HOOK COBIA ON THE FLY!


What you are about to witness is an unreal catch on the fly by a good 
friend of mine Raz Reid of Hilton Head Island. This huge cobia took 
Raz close to a hour and half to land. (LITERARILY ON A SAND BAR!) 
The fish bottomed out my 60 pound scale and I would guess she weighed 
a few pounds over 60...maybe 65! Definitely the biggest I have ever
 seen caught on a fly rod!

PLEASE NOTE this big female was released unharmed and will get a 
chance to release all of those thousands of eggs she has in her big belly! 

IN MY OPINION I think releasing a big fish every now and then could 
really make a big difference in the stock of cobia that I have seen decrease 
in our inshore waters over the last few years and I think many others
 would agree.

OFF THE HOOK conditions today! These are the days you really
look forward to and hope to see cobia cruising right below the surface.
We ended up only seeing one fish before the wind picked up and he was 
just not interested. We finished up the trip with some great light tackle
action catching some reef sharks.

Fly Fishing For Cobia in Hilton Head

Hilton Head Island Fishing With Off The Hook Fishing Charters
4/28/12 Pic Of The Day!
Today was my first trip to the Broad River and we were looking 
to sight fish for cobia. In my opinion there is no better way to catch
a big cobia especially on a fly rod or spinning rod. Finding cobia in
the broad river can sometimes be like finding a needle in a haystack!
The conditions got perfect mid day and My client Mark Nutting had a
shot at his first cobia on the fly and unfortunately the fish was just not
 in the mood to eat. We spent over 5 minutes throwing different flies to
the fish and just could not entice a strike. We also had several shots to
 some very nice tripletail which were the first few that I have seen this 
year as well. Even though we didn't boat a fish we still had a great day
and Mark can't wait to try again next year when he is back!

The sharks are here and here to stay until October. There are well 
over 10 species of sharks that migrate into our waters for the summer 
months. This shark pictured above with The Royer family is a spotted 
reef shark and is total blast to catch on light tackle!

Have you seen this fish lately?  The last 3 days have been so windy 
it has been very difficult to fish for Mr. Cobia! Today looks to be another
 super windy day as well and I hope the winds back off  soon so I can get
 back on the hunt for this awesome fish that is only in our area in good
numbers for the next month or so.

Not a bad first fish of the day in the first 5 minutes of the trip!
Unfurtunately it was the only redfish we got but we had some
good shots at several others. We also tried for cobia and it was 
slow but caught some really nice sharks and finished up with
a bunch of blues on the fly and light spinning gear.

What a great trip the past 2 mornings catching nice little blues on 
light spinning tackle. My clients must have caught close to 25-30
fish or more and we also kept a few for the frying pan as well!
I went back out after my morning trip by myself and ended up 
catching dinner for the family.  Nothing like grilled cobia!

Hilton Head Inshore Fishing For Redfish

4/12/12 Pic's Of The Day!
Not a bad day considering it was blowing 20-25 mph out of the NE!
The good ole' North Easter is one  of the worst wind conditions to fish in
but we managed to pull some really big redfish out despite the winds!
Pictured above and below are my morning and afternoon trips great
catches! The next few days look great and I look forward to chasing 
after some cobia.

This afternoon we caught my first cobia of 2012 and beat my
all-time earliest catch for a cobia by 9 days. Unbelievable!
The fish weighed 34lbs and put up a great 15 minute fight!
I have heard of several other cobia caught at different spots 
and the numbers should continue to increase for the weeks 
to come. Can't wait! The morning trip ended great with a 
big red that faught like he was twice as big!
