SALTY SOJOURN

Time to hit the deck again for some offshore action. Usual spot, usual boat, usual Captain at the helm, life is good!

Happy days!

Seeing no evil!

1st spot and action began, with an uncommon visitor in these waters...

Cobia! On the new 48g Jackson Pintail...

1st fish on deck...

Poseidon Spin Jerker Lite put to good use...

Another nice Cobia before release...

After 2 bust offs, finally this one stays connected, Poseidon Ocean Hunter doing its job...

A teenage Cobia about to be set free...

Light rod, maximum fun!
