8/17 - After Sharkin, but before getting drenched!

Yep, I went and tried the Sharkin, behind one lonely shrimp boat dragging the beach.

The Sharkin behind the shrimp boats has been dismal to say the least...."because there's no shrimp boats!"

So after easily getting all the Pogies we wanted, we travelled a bit south down the beach and came upon "The Brat", dragging in just 15' of water.

We got like 6 hook ups from some small Sharp-noses. And had the rest pull off the hooks.

Not great action.

So we went out to 50' of water in the S.E. Hole (Old Seaturtle Inn) straight out to 50'.

Started our own chum line and ZILCHO.

So we ran back in the river and caught several Redbass, largest was something like maybe 18 pounds.















































































Lightning struck "super close", so we beat feet the hell outa there.
(ole little Jetties) and not seconds after returning to the dock, here came huge winds and driving rain, that even my Mega-Top couldn't shield us from.

Side ways rain!


Don't ask about "Shark Fishing", cause I'm not wasting the time. Without the Shrimp boat fleet out there. And the Jetty Sharks...well they barely catchable by anyone.
