March 29, 2016 Report (Video!)

Two years ago Jim and his two boys fished with me and had a banner day with tarpon, permit and big spinner sharks and this year the goal was tarpon, fresh fish dinner and sharks. Three tarpon spots later and none to be found we fished a spot that has been producing for me and while the silver goliaths were around in good numbers it was impossible to get them to eat. With this painful rejection we turned our attention to dinner and sharks. The team had a different look from two years ago though as this year older son Tommy was replaced by granpa Storm. Sixteen year old Matt still remembered his older brother landing a big shark while his broke off and redemption was also on the agenda. Keeping hogfish, lane snapper, mutton snapper and mangrove snapper we used 3lb live baits for the sharks that I was marking on my Raymarine. Eventually, the rod doubled over, the reel started screaming and Matt was on to the fight of his life. Fifty minutes later we land a 200lb bull shark, way to go Matt! The day ended fishing for trout where Jim hooked a spinner shark, Matt caught a few and Storm absolutely killed them on our last spot catching the biggest and most trout. What a trip!
