Winter South FL
This report is a little late...I was waiting to see if Phil put up a Ft. Pierce report but since he hasnt here it is
Had a few days free from work and school and did some fishing
Got my Dad on some blacktips, he fishes a lot but not for sharks but I think he's hooked now
They are thick now, too bad they weren't here 2 weeks ago maybe we wouldn't have gotten skunked in the BTC
My friend Phil invited me to do some bridge fishing which was great, not something I have a lot of experience with but def going to keep doing, it was fun and low effort. Nice change of pace from dragging a kayak around.
We got there on outgoing tide and the bait was going off, Ladyfish and Bluefish everywhere we filled up my cooler to take home.
Drifted out baits on Phils two 9/0's and my 6/0
His 9/0 got slammed but we couldn't hook up the shark bit his 2ft ladyfish clean in half....maybe we need a stinger rig next time.
Bonus pics from BTC
Had some bad luck this trip... terrible weather the first two days very cold and rainy, we stuck it out only to miss two hits and freeze our asses off.
Pick up and drop, couldn't hook up
Half a cownose sat out 5 hours at a prime spot... not even a nibble
Luckily the weather was great the last day, we were able to just hang out and enjoy the sun finally.
Peek a boo
Also i made a ray gig recently....it was cheap but I wanted to give it a try, I was floating around the flats on my kayak and saw a bunch but couldnt get near most of em...
At least it was nice out... no snow here
Great report and pix. Awesome haul on the Ladyfish. Are they easy to come by in that bridge location?
Thanks Tom... It was my first time there so i dont know if its consistently like that but there were hundreds/thousands. We stopped fishing for them them to concentrate on sharks once my cooler was packed to the max...who knows how much we could have gotten if we stayed at it
From what i've heard though there is usually bait there
