tried the beach again where ive been catching sharks from the yak with a few friends and caught probably the biggest variety of species ive seen in a while. i started walking the river channel to see if i could stick a flounder and eventually spotted an eye glint in my spotlight that started to move after i figured out what it was. tried to gig it and got a marginal hit, but it was a big butterfly ray that had no problem flopping off after a few seconds. never saw any flatties but i had plenty of finger mullet and started beach fishing. maybe 10 minutes in and i pull in a 17 inch trout. 20 minutes later my rod goes off again and get a cutoff on a finger mullet. took a bit before the next hits, but my friends rod went off hard and then mine maybe 5 seconds later. i got cut again, but he had his and of all things 50 yards from the sand in comes a nice spanish! id imagine that would be the culprit that cut my line before too. bit later more rods go off and in comes a 26" and then a small redfish. we hit a lull in the action for a bit so i went out in the yak for sharks but very little bait and even after several passes through the 1 decent school around, no runs and i go back to see another friend in shallower water having caught a baby hammerhead, sail cat, and whiting. not long after i get set up again in comes 1 of the flounder i never found. shortly after that one of my friends got a big pinfish too. the beach started to get crowded so we were thinking about leaving as a rod starts peeling and nearly gets yanked in from the sand spike. thought it was a big redfish, but in comes a jack crevalle. right as im about to take my rod in it starts bouncing and after switching to a light steel leader i pull in a spaniard as well. several fish between 4 people and very little of 2 of the same kind caught!
oh yea…caught a baby spadefish in the cast net the night before too
