Tripletail Joke
The answer in the Fish ID Contest? Tripletail!!! This juvenile was bright yellow, when they get larger they can have a broad range of colors from gray to brown and even sometimes black. Here’s another photo just for fun…

Spring Cleaning -Matt Clarke
March is finally here! That means Springtime is just around the corner and the 2010 fishing season really begins. Time to clean up the tackle box, grease the reels, re-spool the reels, clean the boat, check the electronics, and make sure everything is in working order.

Name that fish!! Hint, this is a juvenile stage so the color is quite different than a mature individual. I have better photos, but this angle makes things a little more challenging. You can click on the picture to get a larger view. Post your answer with a comment below:
Springtime Cobia Fishing
When I think about fishing in March in the Florida Panhandle from Panama City to Pensacola two things come to mind: Number two, pompano… and number one, Cobia! The springtime cobia run in likely the most spectacular display of large cobia in the world. Fish over 100-pounds are caught here almost every year! The fish arrive on the beaches in March and move east to west toward their breeding grounds which I believe to near the nutrient rich waters offshore of the Mississippi River Delta though there is still some debate on where the fish are headed. The fish typically migrate just off of the beach and can be easily spotted in the crystal clear water this area provides.
