It's nice to see sharks in the numbers we have seen this year and I encourage anyone to find that brute of a fish this year, wherever you are, good luck. Here is a meat and potatoes report, my apologies to those who have already read it on other boards, here's it posted one last time. We traveled this year to find new spots and it paid off. The bulls were thick in South Florida. Judson (JCW) found the largest lemon of the trip 7'10" I followed up with healthy looking lemon 7'2"? This year the baits were upgraded a bit and nevertheless the six and seven foot shark tally soared to ten. My intention was to "lemon and up" as some might say in Florida, looking for sharks in the 8-10+ range by using husky baits. But of course, and this never ceases to amaze me, six and seven foot sharks ate baits half their size. Although other fish were in the area; this healthy tiger had a very large girth at 6' plus putting the fish in the 600-750+ lb category. 11'7" Tiger Shark Another healthy Bull 6'1" One of the hardest fights of the trip came on my penn 850ss where a large lemon took my casted bait and sat on it like a ray. It ended up a long fight particularly because my spinner broke and would not take on line I broke in the new 16/0 with a nice bull. Mike Palmer is right in that they will break your back, I can't imagine the nine footers. 7'10" Bull The sharks were released. Thanks for reading
