[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]Large schools of migrating Mullets heading south along thecoast of Fort LauderdaleFL have been seen from off the shore out to 300 feet. Close to shore Snooks, Tarpons and Sharkshave been feeding on the Mullets. Therewas an incident off of Fort Piercethis week that a surfer got attacked by a Shark.

[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]We left the dock and twenty minutes later lines were in thewater on the drop off that is 120 ft. deep at the sea buoy in Fort Lauderdale FL. We started off trolling with two plainers and5 surface baits, in and out across the drop off from 80 to 250 feet. Everyone had a good time taking turnscatching Kingfish, Bonitos, and Black Fin Tunas. From there we decided to do some Sharkfishing – we headed out to 350 ft. of water and sent out our Shark baits, onesurface bait, one midrange bait and one bait on the bottom. Twenty minutes into Shark fishing, our bottombait got a strike. The line pealed offof our 80 International Reel – I knew it was a good fish from the speed of theline pealing off of the reel. Forty-fiveminutes later, the Shark surfaced, and I could see it was a HammerheadShark. As Phil brought the Shark closerto the boat, pictures were taken and Jackson, our mate, wired the fish to theside of the boat. After measuring theShark, which was 107 inches long, we released the Shark to fight again. Phil decided to make a replica mount of thisgreat Shark. [/size][/font]
