Well
eventually the good Blue Fish bite was destined to end, today was that day. For
the last month it has been really consistent but today the well was empty. Only
one very skinny Bluefish and a few Jacks were landed. Fortunately I had brought
some frozen bait as a backup. We headed into the ocean just as the wind
switched and picked up. The ocean got bumpy really quickly and we only had a
small window to catch a few fish in. The sharks were ready to bite and Barry
had one on within a minute of us stopping. It was a non jumper and a bottom
hugger. Barry really had to work the fish to get him in. Next was Joan’s turn,
her first shark. Her shark was a real jumper and put on a good display wearing
itself out in the process and shortening the overall time to land the fish.
Joan did awesome in hooking, fighting and landing her first shark all on her
own. After these two fish the wind was telling us to leave so we headed in
before we overstayed our welcome.

Tonight
was Snook fishing on fly night with Corey. The night started really slow on the
catching side of things. We began seeing Snook right away but they were just
not wanting to eat the fly, they were super fussy and just not cooperating. After
moving about a bunch we finally found the concentration of fish that were ready
to eat and Corey went to town on them. At the end of the night he had landed
about 12 or so Snook all on fly. We didn’t take many pictures, just this one.

Today
was Mika, Jaana & Sherry’s turn to get in on the fish action. Like previous
days we started off catching Bluefish and Jacks for shark bait. Bluefish were
cooperating nicely with Mike & Janna both getting good numbers of decent
size Bluefish. As soon as we got out into the ocean the sharks were frisky and
ready to eat. Mika, Janna & Sherry each landed two sharks and decided they
had had enough exercise for the day. The fish were all fired up so I got to
break out the fly rod on them. They were coming in really charged up and
cooperating, I ended up with 4 landed. Another awesome shark fishing day. The
sharks were late showing up this year but they are here now and pretty fired
up.

Today
it was Franklin & Doug on board to harass the local fish population. The
Bluefish and Jacks were cooperating nicely first thing in the morning with both
gentlemen catching good numbers. Next it was time to head out for the Spinner
Sharks. The ocean was pretty nice and the sharks were ready to bite. It wasn’t
long before the first sharks was on and jumping. Franklin & Doug had a ball
pulling on these jumping sharks for the rest of the day. After landing 4 sharks
each it was time to call it a day and go home to recover.

Simon
joined me for the day for some fly fishing. We started off the day pretty good
with a Snook. After that we headed to a spot to see if we could get the
Bluefish and Jacks to cooperate. A few were caught but not on fly, could not
locate a big enough concentration to get them going on fly. Next we headed into
the ocean to see if anything wanted to play out there. A few Blue Runners was
about it on the sinking line. Simon did manage to get two Blue Spotted Cornet
fish, somewhat of a rare catch. We tried for sharks on fly, they were around
but just weren’t getting fired up enough for the fly. Not that much of a
spectacular day of catching but good weather and good company still made it a
great day’s fishing.
