You may recallmy post 2 weeks ago. Well, went back for round 2 with the sharks.
Last Chance, his daughter and I went late Sat night. Kinda rough ride out (and in!)- but we were ok with it. He wanted some mullet and I wanted revenge on some sharks.
Action was pretty quick and I had a screaming run within 30 minutes. Too big for me- Lost him! I'm on light tackle- 20# mono, 135# 6' leader. Ok, try again.
Zing- let him run, set- He's on. Chomp! Ate through the leader. Geez. Ok, try again.
A couple of pick-ups and drops.
Zing- Lethim run so he can swallow!

Finally got one hooked that I can handle. Fight for 15 minutes or so.

Mid-size Blacktip.

Weighed around 45-55#s. Great eating size!!! Had a cooler full of mullet and it was early, so I released her. (Notice in pic- no claspers- Female! Also, note the distict black tips on the fins.)
Last Chance tore up the Mullet. Had our boat limit in first hour with probably less than 6 throws. Action shot!

Funny how I took a picture on the lightest throw- probably 6-7 in this one. One throw had like 34 jarheads.

Notice the background. These 3 guys came and set-up camp with a 3500k generator,3000 watts of light,like 15 rods (including a 9/0 Shark rod, that never got wet!), cots, hammocks, foul weather gear, you name it- oh except they didn't bring a radio! They brought more gear to the pier than the US brought to Kosovo!!! Nice guys though, even though they didn't catch much more than Ladyfish!
Which brings me to the next photo. (Nice segway, huh.)
I have never seen so many extra large ladyfish. Hundeds of them! They devoured an entire school of LY! They were huge!!! I'm surprised sharks weren't patroling underneath them.

So, we waited til sunrise and slowy worked our way home. We got what came for- A cooler full of Mullet and some Shark stories!!!!
