first shark trip - vance - 07-21-2003 [center][/center][center][#ff0000][size 1]hottest post ending July 26th [/size][/#ff0000][/center] Hi, This is about the first shark trip for Wade, Scott, & Joe, @ the mudhole in a 22' Grady. We had great weather conditions , went out on 7-19-2003, and 40 min's into the trip caught a 4' blue shark (they can reach around and bite @ their own tail). Several hours later, a 6' mako grabbed two baits but Scott & Joe got her boatside and subdued without too much trouble. Had several run off's and then I caught a 5' blue shark, which was released at boatside. We ended the trip with Joe catching a 5' mako, which put up a fantastic fight for 25 min's, and was also released. If you are looking for an exciting trip, try going out for sharks! Happy fishing, Wade [signature] Re: [vance] first shark trip - lonehunter - 07-29-2003 YOU BET THEY ARE ! I WAS FISHING SEVERAL MILES INLAND IN MAINE FOR SOME PICKREL , MADE A CAST WITH MY ZEBCO 202 , AND GOT THE SURPRISE OF MY YOUNG LIFE ( 8 OR 9 AT THE TIME ) A THREE FOOT SAND SHARK ! I GUESS IT'S NOT UNCOMMON FOR THEM TO GO A FEW MILES IN FROM TIME TO TIME , BUT I NEVER WENT SWIMMING THERE AGAIN . [signature]
