The beach was on fire today!! Blacktips by the hundreds or even thousands - jumping non stop from the minute i showed up and still going when i left
I personally caught 10, by far the most i've gotten in one trip. Once i saw how good the bite was i made it my goal to break the double digit mark. Could have got more but after landing 10 myself and leadering a bunch more i was done!!! Left em biting for another day
Pics are kind of jumbled I had over 100 from today had to get rid of the bad ones, so there may be some repeats but enjoy!! - Got some good video too
Went bait fishing Sunday got some Jacks and a Big Bluefish for down here
All of my sharks and many of the others were on 2"X 2" chunks of bluefish from that one 25incher, all you needed was a tiny chunk and they would find it
In the beginning of the day they were smaller 50-60lb but as the day wore on they got a lot bigger we got a few over 6ft pushing 110-120
Lot of boats fishing right off the beach for Tips but we showed em all up from the sand!! 
Made for a few sketchy encounters when the big ones were running straight out 250+yards but thankfully no mishaps
We have a bleeder but he was ok 
One of the bigger/fatter ones he was smokin the Penn Spinfisher
Some video when he picked up the bait and started burning me

The first couple hours there I was solo...after releasing my first 7 or so I was a bit burnt out, these 2 younger kids nearby seemed interested in catching sharks so I let em each fight one
they were a bit small for the 12' surf rod lol but they did well and were pumped to catch some sharks
Shortly after Ryan showed up...I watched/helped him catch a few before i decided I had to hit the double digit mark before i gave up
We doubled up a few times, fun with zig-zagging Blacktip runs!!
Final Tally: 10 for me, 2 for the kids and 8 for Ryan - 20 landed in 7 hours!!
Oh and we tagged a few too - if you re catch them please report it so we can see!!
I think average bait soaking time before pick-up was 7-8 minutes

Watch this one closely you can see some jumping http://www.flickr.com/photos/78809044@N02/13095576433/
Random bait pick up - near the end of the day we were approached by a guy from a nearby condo who asked if we liked Mackerel for shark bait... i said hell ya what ya got? Some random stranger gave us 4 fresh kings for bait one over 40inch!!!! Going in the freezer until deployment on the Makaira in the BHC
I couldnt believe my eyes when i saw what he gave us
That is an AWESOME day of fishing..great pictures too.

Excellent report. I was at that same spot on 3/11/2013 and the waves were big and the tide was moving. As soon as I got a bait to stick, some seaweed would hit the line the bait was right back on shore.
Good job, that's a ton of sharks for one day. The best I can remember is 11 down in the keys one night. It's great to get the kids into it as well.
Just an average fisherman.
That looked like fun! Great pics thanks!
a report, photos, video, text messages and instagram - I felt as if I caught a few of those sharks myself..HAHA...Tight work....THX
TEAM GETCHA GETCHA SHARKON

Well, it's like they say in real estate. "Location, location, location." Lol. This is beyond epic! I don't even think JD Hammer and his crew have done this well in their sweet spot on BTs? Good 'goin you guys. Even more amazing is that you got so many good pix! Let alone the freakin' FREE sick bait you got from some random stranger. WTF? I suggest you buy a few Power Ball and Mega Millions tix today and early next week Bro! I'm serious. 
I thought I did good last week going 7 for 7. Lol. There were 3 charters 50 yards in front of me off and on, live-lining runners, one boat with a kite. I kicked their sorry asses as well. Cheap fix, no gas used, and you still charge $$$$$. One huge boat was outta' Sailfish Marina, total douchebags. It had a fancy wood stern face/back and was named "B" something, very long name. They kept backing up over the bar and I was hoping they'd take in some sand. 
What an awesome day of fishing,these are the days that make getting skunked worth it. two questions for you though whats the setup on that Spinfisher as far as line and where in the hell can i get a tape measure like that?!

Mine is the one in the video w/ white braid on top - filled to the 2/3 ring with 65lb momoi and then the top 1/3 is 100lb jerry brown, roughly 400 yards total the topshot is about 80 yards
Ryans is straight 80lb momoi he has 400 yards i think
for the tape enter the next BTC they come with the entry fee one per team
thanks for the information!
