Ben
joined me today for a trip to catch Spinner Sharks on fly. The weather was just
about perfect in the morning and we headed out with high hopes. The day before
the sharks were all over where they should be however as we kept running and
running it became evident that the sharks were nowhere to be seen. Just like magic
they disappeared over night. We are in the middle of the season and no good
reason for them to take off (not a full or new moon nor major weather system).
We were doing a ½ day trip so pressure was on to find some sharks before we ran
out of time. With only about 45 minutes of the trip left we got a call from
another guide who had a report of some sharks way north from where we were. We
high tailed it up there and fortunately found a few sharks. For as bad as our
luck had been to that point we got super lucky with a shark coming in within 5
minutes and eating the fly and staying hooked. Ben did a fine job fighting this
nice sized shark and landing it right before it was time to head back in. The
Spinners today we definitely not cooperating as they should however Ben did manage
to beat the odds and catch and release his first Spinner Shark on fly.
