The other night sitting in my living room watching my favorite line up of fishing television shows my phone goes off. Sure enough it was one of my friends sending me a fishing picture. I opened it up to see the picture of a hammerhead with something in its mouth. After questioning him he told me that he was out tarpon fishing at knapps point. He lucked out and caught a tarpon. While fighting it this hammerhead came along and stole his tarpon from him. Luckily he was able to grab his phone and snap a picture. Im sure that shows us what hammerheads favorite food is. He told me this hammerhead was a good 8 foot long. I of course found this interesting, especially because I would love to catch a hammer. Do you guys have any advice on catching them. Any tips like daytime or night time. Bait. Time of year where they frequent. Now some of you guys might be saying where the hell is knapps point. Its one of our fishing grounds on the west coast. The south west corner of Sanibel island. Around this time of year tarpon are always found here. Any advice would be appreciated guys. I would love to catch a hammer.
Big reel with plenty of line. Stingray seems to be a favorite bait for the hammers. They catch them in the day and the night, just get out there and get one.
