Black Tip Sharks

Monday, October 16th, 2006

This weekend was awesome!…me and a couple buddies went out friday night to the south Skyway fishing pier to do some shark fishing, we get there a couple hours before dark and catch some mackerel and ladyfish. we balloon out the both mackerel and a lady…an hour later we had the 4/0 ripping, Chris runs over and sets the hook as he does the line goes limp. He reels down to feel no weight what so ever. As he gets to the end of his line we see that the shark bit throught the 125lb cable like it was mono.

 We keep our heads up and balloon a mackerel out on the 9/0…30 minutes later the rod starts screaming then we get an aerial display, about 120lb blacktip…Chris starts to get the gaff ready, then the shark jumps and shakes the hook loose. Well it was  great night but we did not go home with one this time.

If You Are Not Fishing You Should Be!

Wednesday, October 11th, 2006

Ok, everyone it is time…what time is it? Time to fish! The weather is starting to work with us. As the temperatures drop the fishing heats up, fall and spring are my favorite times to fish.

Every fish in the gulf will be abundant in these next few months…so all pier and land fisherman have there shot at top game. Cobia, kingfish etc…will start to migrate for the winter and they will do it in massive schools. So get up, get your rods and get fishing ;)
