Went to Boynton inlet with my son James. We had bad luck. Took the kayak out with rods and sleeping bags. left the cooler with fresh bonitas for the last thing to bring up. Bad idea they, stole the ice chest. Packed up the truck and told Jim lets go home. On the way I stopped at a boat dock. By this time it was 9:00 pm. Good luck. There were three bonitas hanging. went back to Boynton and I caught five blacktips from there went to keys and caught an eight foot bull and Jim caught an eight foot six bull and got stripped on the six ott. pics soon.

Our team "Hammer Fever" we started off slow but we've picked up steam and have overcome some problems like stolen coolers to get on the board.It feels great to be back on the beaches and bridges after the bone chilling temps and fish kills we had in Florida this past winter.Springtime fishing holds all the promise of things to come for those shark hunters who persevere and learn to read the signs in Nature.From all indicators this will be a good year for big bull sharks.You know you're doing good when you're driving home half asleep but fully awake after just catchinhg a mess of fish.Here's a look at some of Team Hammer Fever's sharks.These are the ones on my camera JD Hammer will post his once he has developed his.



RV'ing and shark fishing -a nice combination

The Sharks caught by Team Hammer Fever

Sandra fighting her first shark of the night and Jd Hammer coaching her

Sandra and Will with Sandra's first tipper 5 ft 2 inches

Shannon's first of the night (more pictures available in Sandra's camera)


Shannon's with another blacktip shark
The action was hot ,every 15 minutes a rod would scream as another bait was engulfed by a hungry tipper.Jd Fagan and I who got to the beach last were having to run back and forth to help Shannon and Sandra with there sharks but for me it became a task because I was pooped from two days of shark fishing in the keys with very limited sleep.Quite a night to remember for Shannon and Sandra who had the fresh Bonita's from the driift boat but I was having no luck at all with my frozen Amberjack baits brougt from Fiesta Key campground.We made the best of it and had a few dropped baits and some cut-offs.

Jd Fagan,Mark and I pose with Fagan's 400 lb test bitten right threw

At one point the shark fishing couple of Shannon and Sandra had a double header and I just had to have a picture of that


Sandra prevailed, and Shannon lost his -Sandra's second tipper -5 foot 5 inches



A beautiful morning on the beach and much needed sleep to start a new day

My shark fishing trainee awakens and is eager to commence our hunt once again

The beaches of Florida hold many treasures and not all have the sparkle of gold

A Great White shark tooth found on the beach is a wonderful gift for any fisherman


Finaly one for me after a sharkless night-Tipper 63 inches
Sunday night Jd Hammer,Jimmy and Mark left because Mark had school the next day so it was us Four helping each other out but in the afternoon Jd Fagan and I went to one spot and Shannon and Sandra went to another.We stopped and saw Travis from Team Cape Haze Rods who hooked us up with some fresh bonitas at $3 each.Thanks Travis.so we headed north to the Port Salerno area to see what we could find and we found some very productive spots.We had only a few hours left to fish when we found one beach that had some very key ingredients for succesful land-based shark fishing and chief among those is "distance from unloading spot to fishing spot"We were on the spot less then two hours and had a double header & caught two blacktip sharks neither one counts for this tournament because the first was caught by Jd Fagan(not in the tournament) and under the 5 foot minimum and the second shark because the passerby who took the pic did not press the right button!!Oh well that's the way things go sometimes.

Jd Fagan on our brand new beach

JD Fagan with his blacktip

the release

hooked up with the blacktip that was not to be.
Soon we hunt again.
