Offshore with Capt. Scott Lum, Patrick Sebile and friends

Last Sunday I was invited on Capt. Scott Lums Contender to spend a day with Patrick Sebile(Designer of Sebile Lures), Russel, Belle, and Sam Root. First we went offshore to troll a variety of Sebile lures for Kingfish, we had a bunch of strikes but no hook ups. Patrick and Russell did hook a few while blind casting Sebile’s Stick Shad and Belle caught a couple using live pogies. After catching some Kingfish, we headed closer to the beach to target Cobia, Jack Crevalle, and Tarpon. Patrick and Russell had shot after shot at schools of big jacks but they kept missing the hooks after busting on the lures a few times. The Cobia were being picky and not wanting to eat that day, they had lots of follows to the boat but no commitments. I’m sure if we had more time on the Cobia we could have gotten a few to eat but we had to call it a day. Patrick is a wise man with great ideas and it was a pleasure hanging out with him and his friends. If you’ve never tried a Sebile lure, I highly recommend getting a few because the action on them are amazing especially the Stick Shads and Magic Swimmers! When Patrick has free time, he plans on coming back to fish with me in the Mosquito Lagoon for his first time to test out some baits on Redfish and Trout.
