Report by: Gabe

With the forecasted front, Jason and I decided to try the beach. We hit the beach around 5:00 and with the terrible driving, made it to our spot by 7:00. Larger sharks were our intention, so I snuck a couple of monster baits past the 3-5 foot waves. I also dropped the only whiting I could manage right before dark. As we were waiting for our first run, our buddies Justin and Hunter showed up. Not long thereafter my Daiwa SHV takes off. After a half an hour fight, I land this nice female Black Tip.

After a couple of missed runs on casted baits, we decide to get some sleep. The next morning I reeled in the big baits and began to deal with the increasing weed problem. Sam, Jason and I all start taking baits out just after sunrise. Lots of runs and drops but finally I hook into a good fish.

The day goes on like before, lots of runs and the weed was becoming more of a problem. Right before we pack up, Jason picks off a nice bull shark.

We had a great time and were fortunate to take advantage of the short fishing window. On the way back we noticed huge mats of weed washing in. Looks like Spring is here to stay.
