2 boats - lots of teeth

7/14 - 2 boats - lots of teeth Had Larry R. call me yesterday and he had 6 or 7 people that wanted to go fishing. Can't say that 2pm was a lot of notice. But I got the J-O-B done and called Cappy Randal, (aka: Sea-Daddy), as my second boat that was needed for that many people. Shocked off my leaning post, Larry pulled in the parking lot about 30 minutes early!!!! I never get that, especially on a large group charter, where someone inevitable slows down the morning momentum . But it was 6:30am and they were here! I hardly had time to soup down in sunscreen and fix a few rigs. Really, I was shocked. I took 4 people, and Capt. Randal took just two. We both had Jr. Anglers aboard at 10-11 years old. And my kid was a machine! We went behind the shrimp boats and tossed baits behind the nets and caught Sharks. At first they were smaller types. And the action was really good, considering not a whole lot has been going on just off the beach with the cool water temps. via a summer thermocline that is upon us once again. PREDICTION: this 75-78 degree water won't leave here till we have a September Tropical storm, Depression, or Hurricane come by. The water should be 80-83 degrees all day long! Capt. Randall's crew was hooked up instantly, as he pulled up and made a cast to the back of the shrimp boat. And then it was my crews turn. {%image_id=5499%} This boy was a fishing machine, and I think he went for at least 3-4 in a row! {%image_id=5497%} At first the sharks were around the 30 pound mark. They are fast! Then, we ran to another spot and found four shrimpers working and this area producing exactly what I was looking for. {%image_id=5266%} MEANER - HEAVIER -JUMPING - BLACKTIP SHARKS. {%image_id=5457%} (There's no way for me to get a photo of what we call a "Spinner". Which is really nothing but a Blacktip Shark that flies through the air cork screwing) {%image_id=5221%} The three adults were there, but the boy just kept going and going...... Then we had a few double headers, two on at the same time. Which is always fun. If they stay apart. {%image_id=5498%} The guys had to of caught at least 8-10 of these toothy dudes. And then wanted to go try something else. And there wasn't much else to try at this point. But I ran out to a "bait spot" and jigged up some tiny little cigar minnows. And slow trolled them around for awhile, with no strikes. {%image_id=5500%} So we headed to the dock. Capt Randall had the same action, and even got some chum from a shrimper. So he didn't have to chase the boats anymore. {%image_id=5501%} The offshore report from a friend wasn't all that great. Cuda's of course, a Bonita, and one King Mackerel. And a long run to get to them. {%image_id=5459%}
