Monday Pomps

crazyfire · 12-31-2007, 10:43 PM

Longggg day...Me, my dad, J_purdy and my uncle and cousins hit the water at about 9am.....and got skunked..plain and simple. We had 5 poles out, jason had 2, and he even went and caught some finger mullet for some blues...NOTHING. Finally at about 230pm we got 2 pomps on at the same time. We let my 2 cousins reel in their first pomps. Thought it was gonna turn for the best...but...I think those were the only two fish in the sea. We did see something...BIG...and blue jump out of the water. it was about 5-6 feet long...and jumped atleast that out of the water, obviously attacking. We THINK...it was a shark...but we arent really sure. Any opinions? I have pics...will add later.

i've seen videos of sharks jumping to attack seals or sea otters or whatever they are eating, but i don't know what type of shark the video was of.

and i was gonna go yesterday, but other stuff came up and i had....responsibilities

You guys are out fishing and I was stuck at work........fantastic..... At least you caught a few.

Glad you guys were able to find some fish. I guess the tide coming in helped bring the fish a little closer. I wish I could've stayed longer.
