Hi I am Cory a avid fishermen and second season lbsf. I have everything to safely catch and release and have caught and released about 30 over 5ft with a little over 8 being my biggest. A few of my buddies and I are in tampa this weekend and are going to shark fish. A few things if anyone gots a good mackerel Bonita tuna or cuda for bait get at me and also if anyone wants to fish with or gots any tips hit me up. 843 460 5058. I'm from charleston sc so if anyone wants to look out I will do the same if your in my parts and i can. Thanks and good luck this season.
Day one bean point 9 am to 7 pm we grinded really hard a for a few bites. The only shark to hook up got hung up. Windy white caps and heavy boat action. My buddy was just out of range of hearing me yell when dropping a bait and a speed boat started flying right toward the line. I go full mad man to try to get my buddies attention but nothing works so as the boat closes I decide to jerk the line to get his attention. It worked and the boat stopped right next to him and I yelled it was in the prop. They checked and then took off but it was still in the prop. Ended up respooling twice first the hung shark second the boat. The hardest I've put it in shark fishing with out a nibble we had 5 lines. All day nd had 3 hits. When leaving I heard the sharks only bite at night there. Where I'm from the sharks feed anytime but we don't have clear water.
