December 27, 2014 AM & PM Reports

AM Report Rob and his two 8 year old grandsons Eton and Eli wanted to catch some fish and have a good time. The morning started with hard pulling jacks on light tackle that gave them a work out on almost every cast. As the action slowed we fished one spot with little action and them I pulled up to a nearby wreck that ended up being the last spot we would need to fish. The action was fast and furious with every single cast with producing a fish or a hard strike. They kept count of how many fish they caught and the total tally was somewhere around 60. Before the trip was over they became tired of catching fish and wanted a boat ride. Kids being worn out from catching so many fish, I love it!

PM Report David was back on board with his friend Joe and the weather was polar opposite from what we had on the 24th. We hit the finger channels immediately and the hot action continued with fish on almost every cast including big mangrove snappers. After a while we decided to go shark fishing on the flats at the end of the out going tide. Staking out on a nice flat I like for sharks we deployed out baits and waited. The live shrimp I had were put to good use targeting bonefish as well. Not long after, the 8lb rod doubles over and the reel sings. After a short run a bonet head shark comes to the boat. Deploying another live shrimp, the rod again doubles over but the drag burned fast as a big bonefish inhaled the bait and tool off. After a long run the fish settles down for a few seconds as we chase it down. It makes another 50 yard run and he cuts us off on rocks that litter the bottom. NO!!!!! David and Joe caught a few more small sharks and had 5 big sharks in our slick but they were being very finicky and only one took a half hearted swipe at one of our baits.
