Most types of fishing requires stealth, cunning, patience
and a bit of
intelligence with regard to the habits of the particular
fish. Clumsy
buffoons are rarely successful.

Lemon fishing (Cobia to many of you) in the Gulf is
different. Here
the clumsy buffoon can shine. To catch lemon fish you
take a thirty
gallon garbage pail and fill it with aged chum, old pogeys
and mullet
heads. Then you head out to the lemon fish holes and
anchor. You rig
one line with a float and whole fresh mullet, set it out
and put it in
the rod holder. You rig several other lines with weight
and large,
brightly colored dusters, drop them over and let them
settle near the
bottom. These (the dusters) are not to catch fish with
but to draw as
much attention to yourself and your fishing operation as
possible.

You then begin to shovel over a large quantity of the chum
and you and
your friends (if you have any, if not your run around to
each rod as
if they are your alter egos) pull the duster rods rapidly
up and down
to draw as much attention to yourself as possible. The
more noise you
make the more disgusting chum you throw out the better
your chance of
attracting a lemon fish up to the surface to take your
good bait.
Lemon fish are as smart as any fish but they are curious
and can't
resist the activity of the dusters and the chum.

Do you recognize any regular lemon fishermen on this site?
