Well here it is my friends. My surf shark fishing trip of a lifetime. I landed three sharks with two of them being studs and one of those being my new personal best. The personal best also happens to be my first greater hammered which measured at 11’8” with a 56” girth. It was a beast and luckily it picked up the bait on my Avet 80w trx which had plenty of drag power to put it on the sand in 45 min which is very good for a hammer that size.
We photoed, tagged and released it to fight another day.
The next shark which was also a stud was a 8’3 bull with a 51” girth. Not sure who the people were that stopped to help me with this one but thank you.
For those wondering Ive been using leaders that Eric Ozolins with catchsharks.com makes with great succes. Oz is known as one of the best late shark fisherman so his gear is proven. The hammer was caught on his Gladiator leader and the bull was caught on his Incognito leader. Both did the job for sure.
Bait on both big ones was 3/4’s of a 15-18lb jackfish. So about 10-12lb baits.
Until next time mother gulf.
