IVE BEEN FOLLOWING FOREM FOR TWO YEARS NOW AND THIS IS MY FIRST POST. WOULD LIKE TO SAY THANK YOU FOR SHARING AND HELPING ME TO BECOME BETTER. CLEARLY SOME GOOD FOLKS ON BOARD,THANKS. LAST WEEKEND CAUGHT ABOUT A DOZEN WHITING,ONE FLOUNDER,ONE GIANT RAY,ONE ARM LENGTH SHARK. CAUGHT WHITING AND FLOUNDER ON SQUID AND SHARK AND RAY ON CUT WHITING.JUST AFTER HIGH TIDE AT DUSK HAD HUGE RUN THAT HIT MY RED RIG WISH IT WOULD HAVE HIT MY SHARK RIG, IT TOOK ALMOST ALL MY LINE 150 YDS. RITE BEFORE I GOT SPOOLED MY 50 LB MONO LITER WAS NO MATCH FOR THE TEETH. NEXT TIME HE WONT BE SO LUCKY.
Wait? You only had 150 yds of line on your reel?
Well, just be careful man. 150 yards of mono trailing behind a fish is bad news. But then again these things happen. Good luck in the future.
YES I GET YOUR POINT BUT THE SHARK BIT OFF AT THE LITER SO HE HAS ABOUT 24 INCHES FOLLOWING HIM HE WAS EITHER A SPINNER OR A BLACK TIP I KNOW THIS BECAUSE HE GOT AIR BORNE SEVERAL TIMES. THESE ARE COMMON OUT THERE. I CHECKED OUT THE BIGGER SHARK YOU LANDED RECENTLY-NICE FISH.
Try steel leader with a haywire twist, check the shark postings from last year. I can’t remember the username but some guy posted a very effective rig that I haven’t had fail me yet. Oh and no need to yell.

OK JUST TO LET YOU KNOW IM NOT VERY TECH SAVY, HOW DO YOU POST PICTURES FROM I PHONE TO SITE ? PLEASE FOR SUGGESTIONS,AND BY THE WAY ARE WE GRADED ON GRAMMER?
not graded on grammar, but all caps makes it look like you’re yelling. to post pics you have to upload to a site like photo bucket, then copy/paste img code.
Thank you, i had no clue what Mr ship was talking about, i thought i must of said something offensive and he was correcting me clearly im a newcomer to the site and will have to learn a little envolving the posting aspect, fishing is the easy part.Good luck out there Mr. Fracwilt.
