Well we did a Good job as a st Time Team. I really enjoyed getting back to the sand. Long Long drive and alot of car lag :x But all worth it in the end.

As soon as we arrive at 1am we walk on a moon lite beach and was ready to go....me and grant look over the area and then we all decided to crash for the night and get some good sleep..hahahahahahah what ever :!: overtired and cramped truck becuz of the BIG MOSQUITO, that could pick up up and fly you away.

So the next morning we run baits out...

Grant was the first to score.... 5'11 bull




Next was Anthony ..this was his very first shark....9'0 lemon



Next was Christi....6'6 bull



Next, I had a Primo Run...This was the first time i ever used my avet. I pick up the rod and I hit the free spool. :(
Lets just say.....I will never pick up the reel again i will get set holding the rod. This was Lost #1 for me. This was grant after i lost him..

The next day was slow...That night Anthony starts us off....8ft 1/2 lemon



Then Christi.....6'2 bull



Then Grant.....6'3 1ull shark



Then John....7'4 lemon



Then Anthony with another lemon...8'1



Then Grant with the last shark of are trip....This shark was hit 2 times on the way in. 5'5 Spinner shark



We had 9 Total....

Grant .... 5.5 spinner / 6'3 Bull / 5'11 Bull
Anthony...9'0 lemon / 8 1/2 lemon / 8'1 lemon
Christi....6'6 Bull / 6'2 Bull
john.......Loss / 7'4 lemon / cut line

Not many people can say their first shark is over 9'..that is a monster lemon! Since you helped put him on such a nice first shark you have the good karma on your side, you'll get a shot at the big one again ;)

I see you guys were using mosquitos for bait... Don't share my secrets with everyone :roll: , you guys cleaned house, a million mile drive to a random Florida beach, you guys must have done a ton of research to pinpoint those fish. For me that would be like throwing a dart at a map of florida and going to fish there :lol: . 9 sharks and no nurses, that's a feat. Congratz, it's pretty impressive.


Just an average fisherman.

If you dont want to catch nurses, then dont use fish for bait. We caught 20 plus sharks last week, the only nurse we caught came on the only fish bait we put out (bluefish)...haha.

meh, we did use some fish for baits. But i think my recent run of bad luck since S-thon was strong enough to will away the dreaded nurse curse.

Im just hoping that with those few fish I manged to land, I left that "skunk curse" over there for the florida crew to contend with.
