Tried to get an early start on Pompano season today. Brought the wife and kids 'cause it was sooo nice outside, but didn't catch anything. However, we did see a 15'or bigger shark. At first I could'nt see it very well and assumed it was a school of rays. Then a helicopter came and circled a few times then left, so I took a closer look. By that timeit was closer to shore and a crowd had formed. Everyone was taking pictures and video. It stayed within casting distance for2 hours.:doh If I would've known, I would've gone home real quick and got my shark gear.:banghead Oh yeah, we were about two miles West of the Navarre pier. I was hoping to see it on the 5 o'clock news, but didn't. Anyone know what that helicopter might have been about?

A guy came by the shop yesterday and he was working on a condo on Navarre Beach, and said he saw what he thought was a 12 Ft Mako and it just kept staying in the same place so he bought a Bobo and a shark rig was going to try and Hook It ,I asked Him to let me know today If he did any Good never heard back from him, might be the same one ? I also asked Him to try and get Pic's

If it was a Mako it was a little early. They usually follow the Cobia migration. Awesome fish!

Anyone want to buy a few surfboards?
I think Chickenbone is right and has talked me out of surfing forever. |
