I haven't been since about June or July due to all the June grass. Would like to go either night if someone wants to go. I have only caught 1 shark and would like some pointers from you guys who have alot of success.

I have a kayak and am not stingy about others using it to yak their baits out. Sound like a fair trade?! In exchange for some pointers? I have a 8/0 Senator, 80lb test mono, 6'-8' leader and circle hooks.

I usually buy fresh mullet on the way out if anyone is going this weekend!

I might be heading out there saturday night. Id be more than happy to give you pointers. Are u talking surf or sound side of chicken bone?

devinsdad

I don't know yet. I figured I would drive out Friday during the day and see what the moss situation is like.
I prefer Gulfside, but hate the green Moss-Mosters.

Sunshine17

Haha. Yea I know what u mean. If i go it will be on saturday night.

i might be trying to get out there this weekend

Looks like I will go on Saturday as well. I am gonna use some of my "Momma-Don't-Know-Money" at Joe Patti Seafood on bait. I have never seen Bluefish on the counter and have not had good luck with whole mullet.
Any ideas on what else I can buy for good shark bait?

captainblack

i suggest you try to get out and catch some bait, ladyfish, blues, spanish, white trout or stingrays are all good

you could try going to a marina or boat ramp and asking guys comin in what they caught, what they can spare, ive had guys give me spanish and king heads and a bunch of white trout they ended up not wanting a few times

but 99% of the time i catch my bait, this is probably gonna be what most others will tell you

dido captainblack. Catch your own bait. I gotta take my girl out for dinner on saturday then i might head out to chicken bone. R u going for sure devinsdad?

captainblack

i might have to pass this weekend, im sure ill be getting out there again midweek and next weekend if you are gonna be out there at all

i dont know if ill be shark fishing or not this weekend, im almost 100 percent going out there, but likely if i take anything with me itl just be a spinning set up maybe catch a few ladyfish to freeze. got a lady friend coming with me, so probably wont be wanting to handle cut up ladies the whole time im there. ladies ladies ladies.

knowing myself all too well, dont take my word for it, you may just run into me out there and i may have 4 or 5 rods and spikes with me, what time were you likely gonna be out there if you go?



oh and sunshine, a friend of mine told me he was fishing 3mb a couple times this week, and he said when that foamy tideline was around the end it went dead but he moved down halfway and hooked up a few blacktips... maybe something in the tide had em further off from us, 2 were caught by the trestle that morning... makes me wonder if theres more to the dispersant in the tideline shit ive heard

Unless a freak event happens, I will be there Sat evening. My wife and son, (Bet you can't guess his name!) love to go along so it turns out to be a nice outing. And cheap!
On the bait deal, I haven't had much luck catching ladyfish/bluefish there, even with live finger mullet. I am thinking I might make a quick stop at Bob Sikes Bridge and try for some white trout/ladyfish/bluefish before heading to Chickenbone. If not, then to the marina to try to bribe the boat captains!
