Gave IOP another shot on Sat. 6/13, change locations a bit, pretty much same results as last trip out. Small Whiting, one mid sized Ladyfish, nice jump show, and more baby sharks. On Sun., made my first trip to Pockoy Island. If youâve never been there, it is beautiful. Thought it would be âlessâ busyâŠNOT! Both days on the beach in the morning, high tide, falling. Not my favorite, but it has been HOT. I had a little better results at Pockoy, at least in the morning. Some nice fat Whiting, which I cut for the âbiggerâ rods. Was hoping to pick up a Red drum or two. Landed one 12" Speck, early, sorry the pic got goofed, a couple of decent SharpiesâŠandâŠmoreâŠbabyâŠsharks! Again though, on the beach:smiley:, sand between my toes:smiley:, reeled in some fish:sunglasses:âŠPERFECT WEEKEND!!!
Now a question for the Shark âexpertsâ. I had a BIG pull down on a big rod, lots of weight, drop the bait. Let it sit. The second big rod went down, I let it run a bit on very light drag. Pick the rod up and started puttâin the drag to it. This Shark, Iâm guessing a 5-6 footer, rockets out of the water 3-4 feet! Got tail whipped. You think maybe a Spinner? Black Tip? I donât think my set-up would have landed it, but man what a leap!
