Rethinking St. Teresa without a boat....

[dolphinatic]

Had to do some work today down at Alligator Point. Had an hour or so to "waste" so I went over to St. Teresa to surf fish.



Waded out to 3 ft. and started casting. 30 minutes went by and nothing was biting....anything On one of the last casts I decided to make, the line just stopped about 10 feet or so ahead of me like it was hung. I pulled on the line and it started to move....then I saw what it was......a friggin 8 ft. or so shark Luckily, the jig came loose and I just stood there watching this thing. He swam a few circles, and then mosied on off like nothing happened. I mosied on off too like a mo fo. I got to knee deep water and thought to myself " #$%@ that was a big shark when you ain't in no boat!!!!" Then I wondered how long it had been around me. Then I remembered feeling a "tug" on the float net I was dragging behind me....luckily with no fish. On my way back to the shore, a guy came by in a kayak. I told him to watch out and he said he had seen the thing earlier. Said he was prefishing for a tournament being held by some guy named "Suber" out of Advantage Marine tomorrow. We talked for a few minutes and then I headed on. Did manage one nice flounder on my way back in



Needless to say I'll be thinking twice about surf fishing out there till at least next month

I used to wade there back in the mid 90's. We'd wade way out to almost armpit level, where you could just start to feel some rocky bottom off the beach. A couple of years after that I saw a guy post a 6 ft lemon shark he caught in the same location. Needless to say, I haven't done any armpit wading there since.

At least when the jig came loose and he was swimming circles around you pants were already wet.

Dad-Gum, Son! Glad yer still in one piece!!

Be glad you fish with a float ring instead of a stringer - that could have been ugly! I still wade fish that area (going there this morning with my friend Gerald to fly fish, but I stay knee deep - no deeper. Even then, a big, bad shark could get me. They say (who ever the hell "they" are) that you are more likely to get struck by lightening than eaten by a shark - who needs both. Best thing we can do is stay alert of our surroundings and get out of the area when the "guys in the grey suits" show up!
