Today is Saturday and what a surprise I had at the boat ramp. It was all smooth Wednesday and Thursday at the ramp but I had gotten word that Friday was crazy so I prepared for this. Arriving at the marina at 5:35am for my 7am charter, I was faced with a mile long line of boats waiting to get into the marina which is usually open 24 hours but due to Covid 19 they now open at 6am. The process of getting in took 2 hours but by 7:30am Ben and I were on idling out of the marina. We tarpon fished a but but it was slow so we focused on catching versus fishing. Well, that went well. Ben caught a ton of jacks and then I took him to another spot for sharks. At the shark spot Ben kept rolling but no sharks around. Then it happened, a big splash, a bent rod and a screaming drag. Yes, a shark ate the live 2 lb jack! After a 30 minute fight what came to the boat was the largest jack caught on my boat at around 45 pounds. Unfortunately, my photo skills failed me here and the jack looks smaller. We headed back with big smiles under beautiful skies!
