Grouper grabber, Miss Laura and I headed out to 65 ft and got beat up preaty good. Vis about 18ft. found cobia, mangoes up to 21" (that was me) 1 AJ , and spanish macs. Lots of bait around. Hit 1 ledge on the way in (45 ft, probably 12ft Vis) and picked a few hogs. Not the greatest conditions but had a blast.

By the way that was an awesome Mango!

Well done guys.

Did you shoot the spanish macks, or hook and line them? I would guess they'd be tough to spear.

We speared them. They make a fun target and taste great.

i love spearing macs (spanish and king). they give you a little challenge. its fun to shoot them IMO. i fillet them and throw them on the smoker for a couple hours.

Those were some slob goes the pics never do them justice! and yes the macs are a great way to hone in on your shooting skills and they tast great also. FYI NO FISHING POLES ALLOWED!

Do you guys eat the smaller cudas and if so how do you cook em up?

Nice report guys. Good thing I wasn't out there with you or you wouldn't have found the cobes, lol.

I've smoked'em, you can also fry them I have some buddies that love them and they steak it out with salt pepper garlicpowder.so that keeps them busy while I eat HOG,Grouper and snapper. If I want smoked fish, cobe,king or A.J. works better in the back of my head as far as eating.It would be alot better if when I ate cuda I did not know that I was eating it would be that much better.besides they are all fun fish some with more gnarly teeth than others!

I only eat the small Cudas (under 24"). Bigger ones are usually full of parasites and/or ciguatera. Neither is appetizing.

Marinate fillets in olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper and garlic. Grill 3 - 5 minutes each side and enjoy with pigeon peas and rice, johnny cakes or Bahamian mac & cheese. Ice cold Kalik washes it down nicely.
