Summer Break Shark Fishing Report

Well I only had a week of summer break, so I had to make that week worth it! I fished hard and got some great fish! My friend Greg from Canada flew down and joined me on his first ever saltwater fishing expedition. He caught a total of 5 sharks!

The first night I went fishing with Pete Barrett and my friend Mike. We caught 3 blacktips and lost one big shark The shark charged the beach and became unhooked by doing a head shake. The one blacktip I caught was 6'7", an awesome blacktip!

That night I also caught a tiger shark with the rig lassoed around his tail!!

The next day I met up with Ryan from Team Infinity and Mike again and we caught 3 blacktips and one Sandbar. Ryan caught the sandbar:

The next day I went fishing with Ryan again and we caught nothing. We did have a hammer pick up one of the baits and the reason we knew it was a hammer because the wire was completely bent around his head.

The following day I went out to sea on my 8ft kayak with some live croakers with the intent of hooking a sail or a kingfish. To my surprise I caught a tiger shark.

Here is the video:

The next day Mike and I tried the same thing again on our kayaks with live croakers and we had no luck!

I took a day of rest before my friend Greg flew down from Canada. I knew as soon as he got down here I would not stop fishing. The first night we hooked up with Pete Barrett and managed to catch 6 sharks, including one stud bull shark 8' 3"! Greg caught his first shark along with two others!

The next day Greg and I headed north to try and hook a big shark during the day, and managed to catch a nurse shark and a shark which species I cannot identify? Greg was happy with his first nurse.

And so concludes my one week of freedom!

I like the way you hook your sharks... the circles work amazing :lol: ... and that mystery shark... there are quite a few little full grown sharks like that. There was one pic I saw on here a long time ago of Chuck Doria with a massive one of those. It was a sharp nose or brown nose or black nose... something with nose in the name lol. The report looks good.

Just an average fisherman.

Great pictures! Awesome Bull.

The shark you were curious about is a Blacknose Shark. They dont get big, but they're great little fighters. Most people around here call them Lemons, but obviously they arent.

Awesome report and video. Josh how do you like the saltist 6500? I have one and never really fish it, i use it to snag (horrible for the reel). I want to load it up with braid and beach fish it.
