Pacemaker Fishing Forum

The plan was to run 15 miles offshore to CB Light and attempt some AJ's and anything else with a forked tail. Got live bait before sunrise and headed out to calm seas and humid hot temps. Got to CB Light and there must have been twenty spearfisherman and they had the legs all covered up. They even pushed the spades off the Light.. but we tried and fished for three hours. No bites. I tossed a big popper close to a leg when the divers rested at the other side and a big cobia followed it all the way to the boat. We also had a cuda about 6 feet long circle the boat twice.. Moved around to a couple of reefs and nada. So we ran back to Fishermans Island and set up on a temp break 82 to 73 degrees.. massive break. Live baits went out and we started making sammy's and bam four rods go down.. ...non stop for about two hours we landed or lost 30 sharks in the small to medium range. Left them hitting and set up on 9 foot shoal. Few skates and day one was done.

The plan the second day was use the incoming to drift some flounder. Got well over 30 flounder and only one measured.. most where about 1/2 inch short.. Tide stopped and the crabs ate our rigs up. Headed for the break at 4th island and proceeded to fill the cooler with blues on light tackle.

Storm moved in and we called it day.

No pictures because I wanted to fish and enjoy time with friends old and new.
