Cruising along the gulf beaches today, scouting for bait and upcoming trips. Today the water was crystal clear, I lost count of sharks I saw cruising along the beaches. Eventually I stopped and had to try to get one to eat. It was INSTANT. As soon as the mullet hit the water two sharks chased it down. We were hooked up!
Yearly the sharks follow the schools of mullet and bait fish into our passes and along our beaches. We get various species in the winter, mostly sandbar, smaller hammerheads, spinner and black tips. Sandbar sharks tagged in Boca Grande have been caught as far away as New Jersey! How cool is that?!
Aiden wore this shark out, and had her boat side with in 15 mins. She was feisty, and nearly bit the boat a few times before her tag and release.
