A December to Remember 2010 -NAVARRE PIER
This winter has been a fishy one so far and we're itchin for 2011.
This red fish I caught was 26.5 lbs
A sandbar by me
This masive spinner shark was pregnent and was caught by John Catrell. It measured 8'2", I think it broke every record that exists for spinner sharks. Tater was gone to get his delinquent pit bull on the loose when his 16/0 went off. John was the man, the fish took some drag off the ole school 16/0, and put a good fight for a spinner.
We had a double header here, mine was 8' even, another masive spinner along with his little buddy. Take a good look at this pictuer, it has Tater Smith, John Caterll, Joey Polk and me. That is a force to be reckoned with, our new team for 2011. Me and Joey ai'nt by ourselves no more, these 2 guys are some of the best pier fishermen ever and they really have there heart in it. The 2011BHC has a nightmare team now that we have John and Tater on board.
Another Tiger by me
and another spinner by John.
And another tiger
Here is the freezer full of bonita aftre the few good days me and Joey had this week, one day we caught 30 another day we caught 15.
I think the final count was 21 sharks, consisting of 8 small tigers, 9 spinners, 4 sandbars, and a couple of sharpnose sharks.

Oh boy the team is growing and now you have the longest pier in Florida so you can fish when it's cold or rough or both ,,,,you got the best mako waters in the entire world pratically and the best Tiger waters also anything can happen up there .Expecting great things from you guys up there and everyone else better be on point or Team Tooth Fairy will take all the chips off the table in 2011.Congratulations on some excellent fishing.I'm Considering buying a small apartment up around Navarre for a retirement fishing getaway.
Maaaaannnnnn how I wish we had a pier like that in our backyard!!These jerk politicians on the east coast don't give a crap if we have a pier or not.They hate the shore fisherman so much on this coast they don't even have toilets at the bridges,,,,I guess our kids and our wives are supposed to urinate on the bridges just like have to .You guys got it made up there.

Yeah they hate us here too. I just got lucky. The folks who run the pier has been fair to everyone and follow state guidelines, they actualy meet ya with a smile and want ya to catch fish. Its the first time i have ever been treated like they have treated me. All the rest of the pier owners always looked at me like i was trash and treated me that way too. The biggest thing i think made the diffrence is they are locals, like life time locals. They and there family has fished the pier since the first one was built. They know what the potential is. Thats the diffrence, they are real people, not some snowbird who is gona show the rednecks how to run things. Ya never know how long it will last. one day ya the windshild the next day ya the bugg.

Oh yeah, most everything we caught was released, some with tags, some without. The only sharks harvested was one 6' tiger and one spinner. We done no gaffing, all head or tail roaped. think i have sent 10 tags off. The bonita has not fared so well.

Looks like a pretty good month to me Ernie. Hope you guys keep hammerin 'em.
Your on fire up that way man keep it up
Always nice to have new blood and good fishermen to boot. Excellent pics and nice fish like always.The new year gonna be tuff
Holy cow!!!!!! that is a enough sharks to make up for 5 trips! team tooth fairy is definitely going to be a force to reckon with especially since Ernie pulls out a tiger every time he fishes practically. Is there a secret bait your using for them tigers lol
Just an average fisherman.
All the areas that are closed to longlining in the gulf (desoto canion) is the reason for all the biguns around here. Over half of the gulf is closed to longlinning. the boundarys start at the alabama florida state line and extend south and east to south of boka grand. For years I wondered why i didnt catch any tigers, now all of a sudden in the last 3 years it seems like i catch alot of juvinial tigers. It has to be to do with the LL closures. The desoto canion is a proven breeding ground and nuresury for sword fish and other large fish. It is in the works to close more waters off lousiana and texas. The desoto canion has been closed for 7 or 8 years now. I attribute my makos to this also.
