    Had some fun this morning late afternoon before our shark trip this after noon. We caught a bunch of little hammerheads (I think), a jack and a whiting.

    Never had bars where I fished in Minnesota.

    The bigger one looks like a bonnethead shark to me.

    I agree on the bonnet head, Our neighbor in FL eats them and they weren’t too bad.
    Looks fun.

    John, you are correct. I didn’t think they were hammerheads, but that’s what the locals fishing said they were. Our guide set us straight.

    The curse apparently applys to shark charters. We got 1 hour to get one. The boat next to us, same fleet, caught 2 bull reds a shark or 2 and a ray.

    Michelle got a black nose shark up to the boat but the line broke as the guide went to grab it. He says he brings them aboard usually unless they are unruly.

    Dang, getting homesick. I used to live just 5 miles south from there in Indian Harbour Beach. I wonder if my favorite pier side restaurant is still at Cocoa Beach that served a fresh catch of the day while watching fishing boats come in.

    Wish us luck. Leaving dock soon on Obsession Charters. I’m hoping for the impossible, a cobia. Maybe I’ll dangle my bait just under the boat.

    Now that’s how you trailer a boat.

    Blah. Bottom fishing charters kind of suck. That’s a lot of steaming on a crowded boat.
