Lanark, 7/12

Post by Littoral »

Caught a bunch of little fish & saw some bigger ones. Trout, redfish, ladyfish & lizardfish.
It was the shark scared the near piss out of me.
I was working topwater (hard) and a bull shark nearly the length of my kayak launched on my lure 8ft from my kayak. I (quietly) said, Oh sh*@*t & tucked down as far as I could inside the "boat" and didn't move. In hindsight, since I'm still in one piece, it was fun. I'd guess the shark at +7 feet. :o

this is one of those posts that I will not show the little wifey

she might think a 7 foot shark is her way to get the insurance money, a younger guy, a faster boat, a cleaner car...

glad you're still with us Litt !

:o wow. I wouldn't have wanted to be you in a kayak with that big thing out there. Glad ya made it back ok. I think the sharks are getting bigger close in, I have hung and fought 2 big ones this year on a CT rig and thankfully they both got off. :roll:

All this talk of sharks is firing me up. I think I'm gonna head down in a couple weeks and hang some sliced ladyfish off my bow; wait for the toothies to get a wiff; toss a blood fly into the slick and hang on. Pictures to follow . . . hopefully. :P

Saw Flip and the dude that owns the Cheeca Lodge in the Keys doing just that on TV last week, 'cept it was a Dalphin carcass. Sounds like fun.

Hey Lit, you need to paddle with 45ACP. :o

Nice report Lit, we have been getting lots of attention from the sharks lately too. Since you have some free time in the summer go out ot Alligator Point at first light, and paddle straight out from Leonards Landing past the Clam Poles about two hundred yards past. There is some kind of Ledge there and about 30 minutes into daylight the water will just explode with Tarpon, jacks and spinner sharks. The point has been holding large schools of Trout every now and then too.
