Report by Gabe 'Mako' |
Jason, Sef and myself decided to head down the beach on a
pre-Thanksgiving trip this morning. We left town around 5:00 and were at
our spot around 7:30.
The beach was absolutely flat.
We started off trying to catch some bait which proved harder
than we figured with all the mullet around. Right off the bat Jason picks
up this Sharpnose on live mullet.
We finally manage to pick up a couple decent baits and start
deploying. Shortly thereafter I hook up on a nice fish.
Me with a 6'8" Sandbar
The action slowed down through midday with a couple more runs
and misses but bait was still hard to come by. We were having to reuse most
of our baits. A couple of hours later and I hook up again on another nice
fish.
Another 6'8" Sandbar, almost identical.
The runs really started to get consistent with every rod getting
nailed. Sef picks up this shark which I am having a tough time identifying
but was positively identified as a Blacknose.
A couple more small ones and Jason lands this 5"2" blacktip
while he, Sef and myself are all hooked up on our first beach triple header.
I picked up this 4"2" blacktip after releasing Jason's tipper.
Lately I have been running into people down the beach that are just
Jackasses. This is the second time in two trips that we had to put out fires
that people left behind. There were beer cans and water bottles alongside
this fire. We had to smother it using the Kayak paddle as it was spreading
to nearby debris.
We had another great day with 7 sharks landed, tagged and released.
Many more runs and landed half a dozen bluefish and a nice Spanish Mackeral.
Hard to beat conditions like today, had a great time as always with Jason
and Sef.
