Went out Saturday morning (4am) in the middle of a good storm. Fishing time doesn't come easy lately so we go when our schedule allows, not the weather. Anyways, I was afraid the rain, overflowing canals and murky water would turn off the bite, if there was one at all. Turns out the opposite. About 30minitrs after the canal next to us burst through the sand bank (0615) and almost washed away my Makaira, it was hit and I landed a decent 7' 8.5" shark.
The 30mph winds finally stopped about noon and I put the head of a 10lb squid on my everol and less than 30minutes later I had another one on the sand. 7'10"
Squid on 20/0 catch all
And shark
As far as ID goes. Your guess is as good as mine. They look like black tips. Super pointed snout (not a dusky) no inter dorsal ridge so it could be coppersharks aka: bronze whaler. But the teeth aren't hook shaped on top. They are thin triangle and curve to the side a little bit.
Rolled into Sunday and the weather was perfect. Light wind, sunny skies, calm surf but no fish! Figured it was time to cash out before we used all our mojo.
