7 mile never fails

Well started out the day yesterday at channel 2 set my shark rod out and proceeded to catch bait for the night ended up with a couple of macks and some keeper grovers for the frying pan. I got a call from JD fagan and he said he saw me fishing as he was going to his spot. as i went to go get bait from the local marinas i saw him and finally met the legend JD Hammer he was really nice and even offered to take my baits out for me, Sadly i refused and proceeded to 7 mile for the night as I was walking out looking for rays it was already 8pm but i saw something else a nice pod of big snook cast my jig it took one time for it to hit the bottom and i had a nice and fat 32'' snook on. I landed him snapped some pics and let him go and by the time i got him up the rays left and it was dark. I have never seen so many 14 0's in one spot in my life and they were all in the spot where I usually set up my rods but I knew they were a part of the BHC and didn't want to get into that mess so i set up where i never had before and waited for the tide to change and at 11 when it switched and started going to the new bridge i put my baits out and waited. 11:30 i get my first hit it took some line and dropped it as i was tightening my drag the reel stats peeling off line set up on him and then fight was on he was already wrapped around a piling but i got him out and walked him down( big thanks to the guy fishing next to me never got his name but helped me walk it down because my dad has a bad back) a healthy 6' 11'' lemon.I also met seawolf and he was surprised that I was the only one that caught a shark on the bridge with the amount of shark rods set out, but a nice guy. I continued fishing and got my limit on grovers with 2 of them coming in at 17in. Overall my solo trip that started off terribly turned into a success with my first bridge shark (other than a nurse).
