VERY LATE REPORT

I'm running about 8 months behind on posting reports. I haven't had much desk time this year. Here are a couple of photos.

I spent a lot of time fishing with my son. We had a few very exciting trips. The bite was hot this year and the sharks were big. We are usually with a small group of friends, but this was a new experience. Landing the sharks in rough water while Nico is solo on the rod is something I will never forget. I'm in the water and he is up in the sand. I remember one time, the wind is whipping and I'm screaming to him "REEL, REEL - NOW" Of course he can't hear me due to the distance and the sound of the waves. I turn to look at him and I see sand shooting in all direction. The reel was in the sand, rod just a few inches of the ground and he is leaning back and trying to pick it up, LOL. The shark was ripping drag and shooting sand through the rotor of the reel.

First time using the self timmer.

I made a bunch of trips with friends and put them on the Blacktips/Spinners.



I was landing all the sharks, since most of the guys would not go in the water. I was doing just fine - I had the grab and drag method working. It was a big help having waders available. My buddy wanted to try one and used the bear hug method.

I'm looking forward to the blacktips this year!!!
More reports to follow.
