Time: 5:30am to 2:30pm
Crew: Pat, Don, Jeremy, Ralph
Water Temp: 62.0
Tide: Unkown
Wind: West 5 -10 knots (Storm came thru 15-20knots)
Conditions: Calm and nice then storm came thru bringing lots of rain
Caught: Five Blue Sharks
Headed out Sunday for some sharks.
I finally was able to convince my sister in law that her son, Jay, was old enough to come watch shark fishing!
I told her it would be a trip he wouldnt forget - well I dont think he will!
My nephew and I met up with Pat, Don P and Ralph (the owner of the boat next to me)at 5:30.
Loaded the boat and we were off.Made great time around Montauk and got to watch a fantastic sunrise!
Stopped to check out a dragger at butterfish hole, but he was just putting his nets out so we continue to Ryans Horn.
Set up shop in 62 degree water.
After a little over an hour we had our first blue shark on - what a treat for my nephew to see this great four foot shark released at the side of the boat.
He didnt want anything to do with reeling them in, but he did enjoy five bluesharks that we released.
Dolphins came around the boat for a period of time!
Jeremy manning the chum bucket!
We had a large pod of dolphins come thru our slick and stay around the boat for awhile!
Pat got some rod time in too!

Then things changed!
The skies darkened - the threats came over the radio - I kept in contact with a few people going into the storm, only heavy rain.
As the rain started coming down hard the deep bait starts to really scream on the International 50 - set up hard on the fish - full drag and he is still running!
Chase him down and start getting line on him - fought the fish for about a half hour - then the line broke - found the smoking gun - the weight chaffed the line!
I believe that this was a solid thresher - and to be honest - it would been three or four hours of tug-o-war with this fish in pouring rain.
It was about 2:00 so we headed north and came in.Still a really fun time!
