After reading Pompano Rich’s report we decided to head out to the beach this morning. We got there about 7:00 and packed up about noon when the tide started to come in. The weeds weren’t terrible early but when the tide switched they started to clog the lines. We were using live fleas and we brought a couple of seven foot poles to toss some snook jigs and DOA plastics to see what might hit. Nothing with the seven footers but we did well with the fleas on the whiting.
The majority of the whiting were average with a couple of big guys tossed in and a few hard heads for good measure LOL.
I had one really hard hit that definitely wasn’t a whiting, it was pulling line and I had to turn up the drag to turn him towards the beach, fight on! A bonnethead shark about three foot hit the sand flea haha!
Fun day at the beach for sure!
Tight lines all!
That’s a good one!
great job the bad thing about caching small sharks is that you dont expect them to bite you .but when you turn your head watch out
Maybe not the bigg’n you were hoping for, but it’s a step in the right direction! Glad to hear the weeds weren’t TOO bad. I’m gonna give it a go this weekend probably.
I get those bonnetheads on dead shrimp all the time.
