Shark Week


Invited out Stateside by Paulos, Brooke & Sammi for a bit of fishing - not just sharks - but it's a good blog title! I've really been looking forward to this - to the beach - the first target had to be a shark!

I'm going to try and do a (very) quick catch report as I go along...


Tough start but two red drum after about 6 hours...


Sand dollar bill y'all - and a change in luck...


Two lemon sharks - 5'9" (above) and 6'3" (below)...


Sharks were unhooked in the water - by Paulos (not me!)


Big storm as I write this - but I wonder what tomorrow will bring?

  1. Awesome, and from the shore too? How far out are you casting? within swimming distance I bet?! Have a great trip.

    1. We started casting over the breakers but the sharks kept swimming through the line - we kept making shorter and shorter casts until we started catching in about knee-deep water!

    1. Red Drum - the barbel of the sea. Except they don’t eat bread :-)
