Rene,JD and the boys in March and April --the way it was!!

March and April have traditionally been months to catch big sharks and months when anything could happen on a Florida keys bridge' or on a boat.
Big baits meant big sharks and back in the day we would catch the big tarpon to entice BIG HAMMERS.
We don't fish this way anymore but it's part of how things were done.Dead sharks are a thing of the past we now do catch and release and encourage everyone that catches sharks to get involved in NMFS Cooperative shark tagging program .We promote respect,tolerance and harmony among shark fisherman but these pictures are part of shark club history and we will tell the stories and show the pictures of "the way it was".

In March and April it's on!!!!Good luck on the monsters.
