8-17-08 Shark Fishing

Time: 5:00 am to 3:30pm
Crew: Pat,Tim, Shawn, Duane
Water Temp: 68
Tide: Moving
Wind: South 10 knots
Conditions: Sunny and calm
Caught: One blue shark

Headed out with Pat, his buddy, Duane and a co-worker Shawn.

The reports have not been good and with the calms seas that are forcasted I knew there would be a ton of people out there trolling for bluefin.

This prompted me to pick a no-name piece of water - with Coxes Ledge at 70 degrees and tuna ridge at 75 degrees I picked the body of water right in between.



Set up shop at 8am - by 10am our first run off is on the only live bluefish. It resulted in no hook up a dead bluefish.

Another run off and ended with a broken line WTF!!!!

Waited four more hours with a solid hook up coming at 2pm. My co-worker was able to bring in his first shark ever - a nice blue shark! A real treat for a first time sharker!


Stayed another hour - at the finishing bell the deep bait peels out line only to of missed the two hooks!
My buddy Rick did pick up a small mako at the fingers!
