Took my step kids and wife to fish Bob Hall Sunday morning. None of them have ever fished the pier or surf before. Always the bays or off shore. Arrived to rain and seemed like maybe a bad idea. After stopping to get bait at Cos Way we made it to the pier at around 0630.

Bait was hard to catch but when we caught some it was good sized whiting or croaker. Should have kept some of them to eat, but needed bait. Sent out 3 rods for sharks, and a slide line. Nothing for awhile. The water was nice and green up to the first or second bar, flat and calm, and no bait moving that you could see.

Finally around 0930-1000 the people fishing on the left side of the T had several hook ups at once. Turned out that all the poles were hooked up to the same shark. Their buddy that was running baits saw it in the water and pulled it in for them. As they were tangled in a ball of leaders that was cut off from others, and still attached to the shark. All told I think they recovered 4 or 5 leaders and weights.

Once at the pier we tied a rope to the main leader the shark was caught on and walked him to the beach. We walked him down for them and they pulled him out. I never saw them measure him but they claimed he was a 10' tiger. Looked more like 8-10' to me from the pier but they had hands on him.

Finally after this we started catching bait and were catching ribbon fish on sabiki rigs and putting out on slides. Had two blow ups with one hook up and brought in a nice kingfish. My 11 year old step son didn't realize how hard of a fight they were without a boat holding the rod and you just reeling. LOL he was wore out but got it in. Packed up to leave around 1400 and the people that were there were getting hits on slide lines as long as they had ribbon fish on.

I took pics but can't upload due to issues with tiny pics.

Thanks Tyler for the heads up on the reports.

Shane, it sounds like you were down the pier closer to the t, any hassle with the nasty clear seaweed, some of us call sea snot, others sea kraut ? I know down closer to the beach it had to be an issue, since it was a long way down pins yesterday evening.

Has anyone figured out yet what conditions it will take to get rid of the sauerkraut snot? It's been around a while.

had the same experience as Donnie, once we passed the 25mm, no saurkraut in the water...
