Alan Tani Shark Week

[floating doc]

I'll check in with the update for the last half of the day.  Very quiet, no runs at all. I don't know if all of the extra activity from the holiday was a factor. Still, for me it was a great day.I was fishing, not at work, hanging out with people that I wanted to be with, not at work, outdoors on a beautiful day, and not at work. Oh, and did I mention that I didn't have to work today? What a great day!

Worse day fishing is better than the best day at work.

Daron Let me know when your planning on heading back to Kentucky, I would like to get up with you at least one more time and see if we can get a big one on the beach before you leave.

I'm guessing mid 70's John, There are some big Sharks cruising right in front of my condo. I might get up the Gumption to yak a bait out this evening.

Well,
The weed (Red Tide) came in yesterday. The surf is so bad today, The red flag is up. Think I'll just drink some suds and do what Vacation is all about. Lee, That was really the first test of your arms on a descent size shark. In combination with Alan's 5/0 grip. It was a true pleasure to crank in.
Its hard to mix fishing and family on the same Vacation. I got my first Bull under my belt. That is going to have to do. Red tide and high Surf=Miller Time!

You did good buddy, it keeps you interested for next year . Thanks for the pictures and reports, I really enjoyed it.

Sorry to see the weather go bad, an your chances for a big'un.
It has been storming hard here in Mobile since early evening, I know its moving in on you.

If by chance another trip was to happen for you Kentuckians in September, may I suggest the week of the 8th or 22nd.
Moon, tides, almanacs & solunar calendars all seem to promise prime fishing those weeks.
I would love to do it again, it was very enjoyable.

I was going to Make a last ditch effort today, but the Storms are just too much. I will not go on the Beach with lightning anywhere around. There were water spouts in the bay this morning. Think I'll just go to Bubba Gump Shrimp this evening and hit up Bass Pro in Destin.
My New Screen Saver. Me and My Boy Mike. I'm cutting the wire where she barreled rolled on the way in. A Quick Dehook and back she went.
