Well Josh...if your officially in...that raises the winnings to $590!!!! Sweet!!!

Can' rememebr all the lengths for the last 2 tourneys...but average good shark is about 6 foot.

Now we have bigger around, I have seen plenty of 7 and 8 footers while diving, and twice I have seen 10 footers...but as far as catching, its usually around 6 foot.

If you look back at page 1 or 2 of this post, there is a link to the other post from after the other touneys with pics and results.

just added a couple of more candles to the raft man it was hard getting the wax to stick to the bamboo! hope the wind this weekend don't blow them out! heard it was going to get sporty in the bay have to tighten the vines on the raft a little more! almost ready have to start early next time it cutting into my beer drinking time! almost sorber up doing the candles!

chum-chum · 10-09-2008, 08:24 PM

heard there is going to be small craft warnings saturday? Guess I'm dumb enough to be there if anybody else will be. Whats the smallest size reel and test line you can reasonably get away with for this shark thing? Whats the best way to do this thing, anchor up or drift? I guess once you catch it you have to train it to go to ft mcrae Huh?

a 4/0 with 60 or 80 pound test will do or a spinner rod with 60 on it. anchor and start a chum line but put the anchor line on a bouy or ball soo that if you have to chase him you can let the anchor go and come back to it later. some good heavy wire about 5 to 10 feet long so when he rolls he will not cut your line. put out dead bait on the bottom and live bait 5 feet under a balloon (spanish or what ever you have). you will catch kings keep them and use for bait! don't throw anything back uless it is cut up in small pieces! best fishing is at night but you can catch them in the day to. keep the chum going and you will bring them to you! enjoy good luck. if you need help or more info give me a yell on the vhf.
