So far this week I have fished 48 hours over 3 days and had shark baits in the water for about 40 of those hours and this has been my slowest week/per hours with bait out there since I started fishing for sharks I believe. The runs are very few and far in between. Maybe part of the reason is the size of the baits I am fishing or maybe it is just a messed up year? Or maybe both? Does anybody else think it is kind of slow shark fishing for this month? The past 2 years May was my best month and so far this year it is my worst and I am surprised at that. Anyways, here are some pics I took while out this week since the fishing wasn't so great I had more time to take them. Sorry for the low photo quality all but 1 I believe were taken with my beat up old cellphone which is why pretty much all of them are daytime pics. But at least they are fishing pictures..sorry for the lack of sharks too 
Bait stop
Things started off promising
Hook needs a touch up
Idk why I just like this picture
Empty beach always a beautiful sight
Another empty beach, wish I was as lucky with the sharkin'
Raiden Wins!! 
Early evening smallish lemon. Thank you to the young lady who was passing by, she took this pic for me on her phone. I wish she would of stayed around cuz I got another similar sized lemon right after I took my line back out there, and released it without even attempting to get the flash on my generic camera to work. My only sharks for my efforts. Here are some pics of the morning after a looong skunk trip..
Incognito 
The local turtle lady was kind enough to inform me I cannot have "anything" on the beach overnight..ironic, because her wine box (yes, box) would have been on the beach overnight had I not picked it up and thrown it out for her
I got news for you lil' buddy I didn't want ya anyways!
I hope things pick back up, good luck out there!
even without a ton of sharks your reports are cool as hell
Nothing wrong with a couple of lemons. Nice report.
I aways read and look at your post . Went to he Keys last week for shark and had two shark baits and both baits got hit at our baech. One hit took boTh hooks off my 19 WIRE. AND THE OTHER CUT ME OFF. No shark but got hits. JD Mark and I are going to the keys today for the weekend. Hope to post something.
nice report J the bite was a lil slow the last week in the area but i was out the last couple nights and things seem to be getting better as the outgoing tides should start around sunset.... lets fish!! 
I don't know about tough man. You got a couple of Nice Lemon Sharks and fished some beautiful places!!!!! Those West Coast area's are the only places that rival the Keys for me!!! Nice job on the rays at Big Carlos!!!!!
Nice job on the rays at Big Carlos!!!!!
Haha, snagging or fishing for the shark bait is lots of fun..I figured you would like the bridge pics it always was a fun place to fish at since I was little.
Mr. JD I always look at your reports as well and hope you guys do good down there..and when dropping a mullet down to keep it alive, keep an eye on your spinning rod
Ive been off all week and my Vac comes to an end tonight. I had a tough week myself fished all over the place with all different baits and leaders etc. Last night was my last chance to fish for a lil while. We went out with my 12/0 and 14/0 and two HUGE Black drum midsection chunks. The crosswind had my canoe spinning all over the place but I fought out about 100yds. Not happy with such a short drop I came back in and sat down. Told myself I'll take the second out when the wind dies down a lil. Steve was to my left casting cutbait and catching 2-3ft soupfin pretty consistently. My 14/0 just outta the blue started screaming. When I pulled it from the pipe it stopped, then I watch my line start to pick up and move out again. It picks up the bait again and starts to take off again and then slack line! I found frays 30ft up my line. Guess I found my underwater swim buoy again. I took the other bait out and it sat the rest of the night quiet. Except for FWC watching us from the beach access with 7Bravos (night vision goggles) which is fine with me, I don't break the law. Long story shorter, guess we just gotta keep pushing the only way to get a nice fish is to FISH
Cool report and gnarly pics, as always top notch,,,,thanks John.
