Wednesday was an absolutely beautiful fishing day. I had a plan. I would go to Fenwick Island. Catch a spot and use it as bait for a cobia. Man plans, God laughs. I never caught a single spot, but I may have hooked a cobia on my spot rig. Whatever it was, it dumped half…

Wednesday saw some light showers between bright sunshine. It was bound to happen. Fenwick Tackle reported that Tyler Adams caught a 41-inch cobia out of the surf in Ocean City on a chunk of kingfish.
