Well what a day of fission. My father in law and I met at Bob Hall Pier before sunrise and Immediately started getting into some fish. The Gafftops were thick, though, and it was hard to get to the Reds that were plenty. Caught the first red just as the sun started to make light enough to see what we were doing. The next thing that happened was my 6/0 wide began screaming. My partners and I looked at each other and said “That’s not a redfish.” After about a 8-15 min battle (who keeps track?) Up pops a 6-7ft blacktip shark. Being that I didn’t want to harm the shark any more I opted not to put a gaff into it and just roped the leader. Hence the straightened hook and no pics. She dropped to the water before we could get her on the deck. Its just as well I don’t think putting sharks that big on the deck is a good idea anyway, if you want to release them.

After that my father in law and I caught more gafftops than you can shake a stick at. I ended up with seven bull redfish and he caught three. What a hoot. The wind was terrible though and wore us out for the end of the day. I haven’t slept that soundly in a long time. All fish were caught on cut mullet, and released, except one was tagged for a kid that really begged hard for it. He got a male that spoooged all over one of my custom rods.

Great day on the water. Good luck ya’ll.

Father in Law was smiles all day.

Awsome post and pics. We finally got our boat ready and are itching to take it out. Haven't heard much from down here about the reds running, but its good to hear someone is catching them.
