Fishing Report -- 11-01-12

Tony hails from the same hemisphere as I do and seems to have the same luck when it comes to wind. It would be good luck if we were sailors, unfortunately we are very wind sensitive fishermen. Day one the wind was brutal and the fishing very slow. I figured I could at least take Tony to my inside shark spot and catch a few nice sized fish. Again the southern hemisphere luck (or lack thereof) kicked in. It was the first time I have ever been skunked at my shark spot, we didn’t even see the first sign of a shark. We moved on and all the waters were willing to offer us were some small Jacks and one medium sized Jack. A few days later Tony was back and brought some of his northern hemisphere luck. This time the winds were a lot less and we were able to make it into the ocean. We started on the fly rod at my favorite Amberjack spot which proved to only have very big Blue Runners on it but no AJ’s. We moved closer to the beach which was loaded with small Blue Runners, we put a bunch of them in the well and headed for some bigger quarry. It wasn’t long before we began to see Spinner sharks just off the beach, we put out some baits and soon Tony was hooked to his first screamer. Spinner Sharks are so athletic, it’s a blast to watch them go. After some huffing and puffing and removing of the jacket the first shark was brought to the boat and released. The sharks were still hanging around so Tony went back at it. It’s pretty early in the season but there were a decent number of sharks to keep Tony busy. Three more sharks were landed before we called it a day. This time of year it always seems like we are fighting the weather, today the weather called a truce and let us out to play, much appreciated.
