HACKED BY CYBER-ATTACK - ALPERENBTN

Thanks for the heads-up Johnny. When the Indian woman got up this A.M. and I told her about your report she cancled a hair appointment and we hit the sand, late but what the heck. These blue water days have been far and few between here lately. I didn't make it to the twenty but we could see it just a little ways down. I stopped at a place we used to call the refridgerator hole...... used to be an old one laying there. It's where we caught our first box full of Pomps many moons ago. The mother load was not there today but we did get several nice ones pluss a bunch of those bull whiteing. The dang whiteing were hitting so hard I thought they were pomps to start with and then we pulled a couple in. All in all it was a very good day at the beach!!!

Way to go, Rutro! The conditions were just too good to pass up. I hope everyone had a chance to hit the surf. Even David Sikes was catching pomps.

Nah, it'd been way too many days since last hitting the beach, so got outta shape. Luckily, the fish hadn't the same problem.

Out'a shape? Boy I know that feeling well. Did you see Beachbums report? We missed some hard hits and just thought they were Pomps but now I'm not so sure after seeing the Reds he landed. But I'm realy wondering about those baits with the funny teeth marks. Don't the Dolphins have a set like that?

I don't believe it was a dolphin...my experiences professionally and as a fisherman tells me otherwise. The width between each side of the jaw clearly didn't support it. I have had enough hands on experiences rehabing live dolphins and performing necropsies on dead ones to distinguish the their possible bite pattern from this one.

Very strange, that was the only thing I could think of with those type teeth, that at least that would be big enough to run with bait like that. How wide was the bite?

6 inches from one jaw to the other

BeachBum I just remembered something, poped right out this morning sometime around 4 AM. Wasn't there a Pigmy Sperm Whale found on the beach a year or so ago? If my memory serves me correctly don't they have teeth like that? Just a thought...........

It could've been my mother-in-law. She has a bite pattern like that. Hmmm......... I didn't know she could swim though.

BeachBum, Rutro, I never looked to see what started the conversation about what bit which on this thread, but I have to point out from experience that some idiots flaunting the Marine Mammal Protection Act habituated a pod of wild dolphins in CC Bay a while back so that they associated humans in boats with food. Evil or Very Mad

The consequence was that the dolphins began waiting around fishing boats until someone hooked a fish, then rushing in to take it. I got ripped off several times myself while trying to catch sand trout near the Port A ferry landings. Had to stop fishing for fear they'd hook themselves.

I'm not saying a marine mammal bit whatever it was you were discussing, just that they're not always leader-shy. They also get snagged by nets and lines all the time.

Hmmmmmm, the only shrak I can thing of that had a curved teeth bite pattern is also the only shark with teeth that shark suits won't stop, because of the shape of their teeth. That would be a ......., wel, maybe somethings are better left unsaid.

Am I on the right track here?

Why the secret talk...I thought this was a fish discussion board. Lets discuss. I would go with a dolphin before a GW.
