Well heres the report...
While we were shark fishing one night my buddy alec decided to cast out a snook/tarpon bait just within casting distance off the beach and with all our shark rods out, his was the only one to get hit. He caught a lemon that was just cruising on the sandbar and its crazy to think how close these fish actually come to shore, especially when we have 3-4 rods out anywhere from 100-350 yards out and his little ladyfish head frozen from winter gets hit 30ft from the beach. He caught it on mono and a circle hook. Also check out the video I made of brooks fish! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_6svqP4SVE
The next time we fished we had rods going off all night and were able to land 2 tigers a blacktop and gummy, with many other hits that either cut our main line or ripped the bait off the hook. My girlfriend brook got a nice stud male tiger, my buddy ryan got one just a little smaller.
Really have been liking the bolt cutters on the beach it makes for easy hook removal, or cutting of the hook when it won't budge and this way you can just pull the cut end of the hook through the fishes mouth.
Then two nights ago we went out and were only able to land one fish but it was a nice one for sure!
We also got my GF's not so little brother on his first two sharks and I think we have him hooked on the shark game because he's even offering to kayak out our baits now!
good stuff man!!!
