: Hilton Head: Cobia: Fair to good. Bay Street Outfitters in Beaufort reports that the number of of cobia this year has been very strong, but dirty water as well as wind has made for tough conditions at times. Nonetheless, some very nice fish have been hooked and landed. An 84 pound fish was reportedly caught. Sight casting live eels (or flies for very experienced fly fishermen) is still a strong pattern, especially on clear, sunny days without too much wind, and drifting with live eels will also catch fish. Anchored fishermen are setting up with menhaden, squid, herring, mullet, eels and live whiting fished on the bottom around bridges and rips. Fly fishermen are having the best luck with flashy 3/0 4/0 flies fished on 10-12 weight gear. Spottail Bass: Good. Bay Street Outfitters in Beaufort reports that tailing action is well underway, and seeing a dozen or more fish tailing on a good tide is quite possible. Look for tailing fish in the short grass and cast gold spoons, Gulp!, or even flies. On the dropping tide fish have been willing to take mud minnows, and blind casting with Gulp! or live bait has yielded some fish on lower tides. Reported by: Sportsman's Warehouse |
