Went out east of the Pier Sunday morning with Steve and his buddy. There was a bunch of us yakkers out there ready to fish the first nice day after the storm. Had trouble catching bait . Couldn't catch any cigs but caught a few hard tails and some menhaden .
On the way out I witnessed romanfishrman dump his yak and lose his rod. What a bummer!
So I headed out a few miles to a honey hole and anchored off due to the strong current.at first all I caught was Sharks and more sharks. Caught 5 and hooked a big one but he was cut off.
As I was catching one, I detached my anchor line to fight one. I thought my float for my anchor line would have stayed on top but NO . The current was so strong it brought my float down under and couldn't find it. Looked for awhile and then all of a sudden Steve hooked it. Right on Steve. I'm glad he hooked it cause that was the second one I would have lost this summer.
Then a friend of a friend pulled up on his yak with another guy and was slaying the Snapper . I was like WTF! He showed me what he was using and let me have one of his jigs. Then it was on I caught 3 nice snapper and another Lemon shark , which I should have kept. I met another yakker that took the pictures of my shark I should have kept. His name was Mark "needtofish".
On the way back I caught a couple of spanish . And wow that current sure kicked my butt. It was tough paddling back. well anyways heres a couple of pics.
