      That's seriously awesome. Man I wish we could get a better population of those back up and running. I'd love to catch a barrel of them.

          Not use, but we'll be running around in the bay two weeks from now. Not sure how much fishing we'll do with all the guns we're bringing.

            All reels are stripped of line and being cleaned and trailers in the shop. Can’t wait to get back down.

I didn't know it at the time but it was a State record for few weeks until Billy Sandifer caught a 195# at Padre.

              I was fishing a surf tournament and it took first place beating a 7' long 168# Bull.

              My favorite bait was live mullet as big as I could get, and I put as many on the hook as I could fit. I usually used several hooks on the last 24" of a 20' long 1/8" steel cable attached to 80# Trilene Big Game mono. I had 13 big mullet on for bait when I caught that Hammerhead...looked like a lost stringer of fish.

              Sharks have a great sense of smell, but they have an AMAZING sense of electro-reception. They can sense LIVE bait even when they are upcurrent, unlike the dead bait most fishermen use.
              I had to!!

                Should be some good sandbar sharks migrating through right now. During the colder months that was always our main targer, and closer to spring some finetooth and blacknose would show up. Big, pregnant blacktips would show up late March or early April.

                          Almost time for me to start getting serious again. I just hope SpaceX X doesn't run my plans so much this year
