Michael,
Oliver and Aidan were in town and joined me for a quick morning trip. It was
full moon which is typically the kiss of death for fishing in this area. We
started fishing inside which was really slow with Oliver starting things off by
catching a Jack but that was it. Fortunately the ocean had calmed enough to get
out so we decided to go on the hunt for the Spinner Sharks. This year the main
concentration of the sharks left early but we managed to find a few stragglers.
It wasn’t long before we had the first bite, unfortunately this resulted on a
broken leader, weird but sometimes strange stuff happens. Next shark hooked was
a jumper and broke the wire after a few jumps. Next shark was also a jumper and
broke the leader and so it went until Michael and Oliver finally tag teamed a
shark into submission and landed it, I think we must have had six sharks on
before the first one was landed. Next was Oliver’s turn to pull on and land his
shark. Just one of those weird days on the sharks where they are jumping a lot
and causing all sorts of terminal tackle issues. I think the count was 8 hooked
and two landed. In between catching the sharks Aidan and Michael were throwing
jigs and Michael got a nice Pompano and Aidan got a Blue Runner or two. Thank
goodness for the school of sharks we found which saved us from the curse of the
full moon.
