Al
was with me for another day of fly fishing with the mission to upsize the targeted
species a bit. The Snook on fly the other night were fun but we were after the
Spinner Sharks on fly this time. The sharks have started leaving early this
year and it was tough going early on. We were not seeing any signs of sharks. Although
it was not too windy the ocean had a nasty chop on it which made keeping your balance
and fly casting at the same time challenging. We did come across some Spanish
Mackerel and Bluefish which kept Al busy for a while until we finally bumped
into some sharks. The first shark Al hooked was a jumper but after about 5 or
so jumps it managed to break the wire leader. The next shark hooked cooperated
nicely and stayed hooked. Al did well to keep good pressure on the fish
throughout the fight although the boat was rocking and rolling pretty good.
After about 30 minutes Al landed his biggest fish on fly. Nicely done Al,
mission accomplished.
