Watching the weather for the right signs of when to fish this time of the year is important if you want to find the fish and a smooth surf with temps that are at least 25 degrees above freezing and it's bearable --beyond that it's just too dammed uncomfortable for my liking. On this night we had some some new style rookies join us on the beach and they became outr good luck charms and cause for much friendly laughter.As always we found the fresh bait a bit scarce but enough to go around for all to have a shot at some toothy popsicle sharks.Baits were set out on a flat dark beach at night in an evening when the beach goers disappered before sunset .A cool breeze brought the temps down around 47 degrees but we were giving it all we had to make this a productive shark fishing escapade.We got good on our attempt starting at 11 pm most were hunkerd down in there sleeping bags hiding behind umbrellas to keep the wind off our backsides when the annual tipper migration began to materialize in the form of screming Senators up and down our campsite.Total for the night was 5 blacktips .A big thanks to everyone who braved the cold temps to fish with us.Thanks to Ray for being as always lit up with passion and a desire to help everyone land there sharks ,,,,,Ray you're one of a kind .Thanks to Dave (salvasharks501)Seawolf (Tony),Keith (big baits)Chris (snook hunter ) for the brief visit and our wet kayaker in the surf Alfredo our new recruit --I think he's hooked on shark fishing now or still thawing out not sure which.Thanks to all the hardcore "I don't care how cold it is I'm taking out my bait again even if is 2 am" fishermen who joined us on this mini but productive adventure.The pics will tell the rest.Biggest 5 ft 11,5ft 8,5ft 7 ,5ft 6 and finally 5 ft 3 were the lengths ,Dave's and mine which were promply tagged.
second overall fish of the night but #1 for me it measures 5 ft 8 inch

Awesome night everyone
Great catch guys i wanted to go last night 2 the old man told me a hammer was circling when they were cleaning the sail n the black tips were everywhere hes at the pier right now.
5 sharks in a night sounds like an awesome time, good to see every one get together and fish and out some fish on the beah.
Congrats to you guys. Looks like a lot of action. Nice going.
Nice job to all on the blacktips, they are definately around. I watched new member "attakajack" land one last night too, waiting on pics for post. I wish I could fish but my wrist isnt healed from surgery yet.
Looks like you got on em good, and nice size for blacktips..you guys must have hit a nice pod of em.. ever see em finning when you run baits out during this migration I think that'd be pretty cool to see up close I've only seen video footage on youtube 
This is a great signs, many people in the club are posting up blacktips and spinners, cant wait to see those big spring time hammers landed
Just an average fisherman.
way to go will and crew, they're almost as fun on the big reels as on the spin rods cause we play the who can let the tip not run at all game which usually never works out, if ya'll come up my way and fish for em give me a shout if I got noting better to do I'd come out.
Nice catch there guys, Its a little to cold for my liking but if its to catch a shark there are no limits
Big Will

nice job on the tippers Will and crew cant wait for it to warm up so I can start hitting the beach again.
Will love the pics.The tippers are an excellent fight and fun to catch. Way to go guys. .
Great to fish with you guy's (Will,Dave,Rey,Keith,Alfred) had a ton of fun, Sorry you had to leave Chris next time out, Like alway's nice to fish with a group of people that love the sport and get along that's what Comradery is all
about. Nice to see Alfred fighting a shark on my Rod for the first time. Congrat's to all.
