Caught a shark and 15 or so whiting. Used fishbites shrimp for bait to catch whiting on double drop rig. Also used half a whiting on my shark rig to catch the shark. Droned out my shark bait about 500ft. Would have probably caught more sharks but was having problems with some new sputnik weights i bought. Next time i am going to use the copper arm style spider weights instead of breakaway sputniks. Will be back at it next weekend.
Good to see the little sharks are moving around! Thats a good sign. Also I use the breakaway sputniks with no problem. Simply zip tie the anchors so they cant break away.

Ahh thats a good idea i was going to use rubber bands
What drone do you use?
Theres a guy on eBay with the best and great prices. That’s some progress keep at it and you’ll get some better ones. Learn from the smaller ones to get your skills and routine together for a big boy. The 4 to 6ft ones are the most dangerous on the sand.
I am using the dji phantom 3. I fixed a metal coat hanger to the bottom and use the barrel swivel on my leader to attach to the coat hange. When my drone is out where i want my bait i simply tilt the drone forward aggressively and it releases the bait. I can carry up to around 4-5lbs. And yes i have learned alot from the one shark. I need to have all of my dehooking gear ready and not deep into my bag. I went to hadrells bait n tackle and found some 6oz spider weights with big stainless legs.
Rule of thumb, don’t fish for sharks in broad daylight on a beach that is going to be packed with dip**** tourists. It is the quick way to getting our sport shut down.
Most of the people that stopped by were telling me how good the shark fishing is here. If anyone ask me i never say im fishing for sharks anyway. Theres never that many people on the beach anyway. If anything ill start fishing more south where there is no one
“Droned out my shark bait.”
Just never heard that before;
well, maybe once in a bar.
I guess it’s the new kites and balloons that my grandfather looked sideways at me for.
Getting old and trying to keep up Sucks…
