Today
was Ladies Day. Sarah, Sarah (no that is not a typo) and Olivia joined me for a
morning’s fishing. They are here on Spring Break and did they luck out with spectacular
weather, as good as it gets for this time of year. It was sunny, the wind was dead
calm and the ocean pretty flat, these are the days that keep us living here in
South Florida. We started by trying to catch Bluefish for shark bait, however
the fish were running right on the beach and a small breaking wave was just
enough to keep them out of our reach. In the process of chasing the bluefish we
did come across some nice Jacks. Sarah1 landed a solid 20+ lb fish. Sarah2 also
had a nice Jack on but the hooks came out resulting in an involuntary remote
release. We started to see some decent numbers of sharks and it wasn’t long
before Sarah 2 was connected to a nice size Spinner Shark. These ladies have
not done a lot of big fish fishing and these Spinner Sharks can be pretty intimidating
the first time you hook into one, but I tell you what it didn’t phase Sarah at
all. She listened to my instruction and went at it with the shark. She was
determined to land that fish and that is exactly what she did, no crying and
complaining that I hear from some guys, she just quietly and patiently worked
the fish to boat side. Next was Olivia’s turn. Her fish turned out to be a real
handful once she got it close to the boat so her and Sarah1 tag teamed the
shark to land it. What an awesome morning on the water. These ladies did an
exceptional job fighting these big fish. Three good friends spending a morning
fishing in perfect weather conditions and catching fish that weigh more than
they do, no better way to spend a spring break day.
