Fishing Report -- 03-01-13

Jerry, Jesse and Sam were on board day 1 for some shark fishing. The trip was a fly and conventional tackle combination trip. The sharks weren’t out in the numbers that we had hoped for however there were enough to still make for a good day’s fishing. We started out catching some nice sized Bluefish on lures and fly. After catching enough Bluefish for the chum bag we then switched to shark fishing, first on bait. Between the three of them 3 sharks were landed on bait. Then we noticed that the sharks were chasing the teaser plug that we were throwing for the Bluefish pretty good. Jerry put the fly out there and a shark came from under the boat surprising us all and lunched the fly. All three had their turn on the rod and the Spinner Shark on fly was successfully landed and released. Day 2 was just Dad fishing just with fly, boy was he in for a treat. The weather day 2 was about the same as day 1 being overcast and a little cold and also started out with fishing for Bluefish but once we started fishing for the Spinner Sharks it was night and day different. The sharks were the most active on fly that I have ever seen. It was constant crazy action. After Jerry landed a few we switched to using flies with weak hooks that will bend out under heavy pressure rather than having to spend over a half an hour to land them. Overall Jerry had 20 sharks hooked up. It was really incredible. To quote Jerry, “they are behaving just like Brown Trout”, except I would get into the water with a Brown Trout.
