BEACHING BIG BULLY SHARKS. Report.

Post by Moosebunk »

Down in Florida there was this hurricane named Eddie that made a big ole mess to clean up. Couple days later my hairy, pale butt landed in the Sunshine State for a week of shark fishing. Teeth and grit, sweat and spit, I'm rather thankful to the surf, sands and fish God's for some southern hospitality, delicious subs to-go, full moons and rows and rows and rows of razor sharp teeth that didn't bite any toes off. Bring your towel and drink and come hang on the beach... but just beware of JAWS! :lol:

Awesome stuff Bunk - Big toothy grins!! The Jaws t-shirt is a nice touch.

Except for the grumpy warden, sounds like a heckuva trip.
Quite a few years ago, watched a fella land a small hammerhead (3ft) at Fort Desoto. Saltwater is a whole different league!!

Thanks for providing this educational report about shark fishing along Florida shores. At my age, I'm going to stick with hunting walleyes in the shield lakes of north western Quebec. Great pics bud!

Can't say I'm into "burning arms of steel" fishing but it's a lovely report and well worth the read. If I were there I'd be there with you fishing for snapper, snook, and my fav....tarpon. 8)
...anything to bend the rod

So much of it Len was eye opening and would surely take more practice. The fish beat you up. I probably watched a dozen or more times, anglers get snapped off by tarpon, or maybe sharks that hit topwaters, or even huge reds, dunno. When guys did hook the tarpon though they ripped like sailfish or marlin fast. Being out the first half of the trip, through the night, wind and some rain, it took some energy. Great thing is, met enough folks down there who know what they're doing, follow the bites and have said to come on back anytime. Ogdensburg to Orlando ain't much more than $100. Will try for those tarpon and reds another time and get a bit more practice. Thanks for reading bud!

:lol: Thank you sir! Every bit of fishing for anything is a reward TommyCat. But you make a good point. In 10 years, 20 years, it would maybe be next to impossible to stand out all night and reel in fish to the beach. Alone I would think it impossible if those bulls or a big hammer hooked up. No chasing these fish with a boat it's just a tug of war that could last hours really. Thanks for always reading.

They're just sturgeon with teeth and speed. :wink: Little more caution with removing hooks is required. :lol: Thanks man!

The tarpon around Florida Chris will certainly burn the arms. Saw some nice sized snooks and a red caught too. Like Len said, a different league of fish and fishing there. One that you'd need to work out for more. :lol: Thanks! :)

AMAZING!!!!

Not my cup of tea, as you would expect from a hard-core panfish guy, although I still want to catch a halibut. Like the size of those SHARKS!!!! But without the teeth and not sleeping at night........... :wink:

Hard water soon I hope.
