Large Sharks attack WhipperSnappers off Biloxi,Ms Coast: 6-21-10
Mr. Reeves from Brandon, Ms. called on the WHIPASNAPA this week. Capt. I got a couple whippersnappers that want to pick a fight with a few sharks. Think we can? Why sure! Probably need to start lil early cause battling Mr. Shark mid day in this heat could be dangerous.
We started out at dawn. Stopped at bridge for about hour, where Mrs. Reeves landed her a nice red. They also landed some trout, drum, croakers. Then we ran to the reef outside Deer Island where a good bite on white trout and ground mullet was on. Them ground mullet fight good, taste good and make a excellent bait also, especially for the shark and big reds. Got enough for couple good fry's and a few extras for bait and moved on to do the shark thing.
About 20 min's. or so on the chomper and things started happening. The 1st few were the Atlantic sharpnose which excited them pretty good. But we needed some a lil bigger. About an hour had passed when got a couple them alarming clicker runs, where you know its something big, but no connection. Then finally the fight was on. And it was a good one. Oh Yea! now that's what we looking for . Before we could land that one another rod went off and yes we have ourselves another fight on and just about time we thought had everything under control yet another one went off. And this is where things started to get a lil hairy, cause Mr. Garrett the youngest whipper grabbed it and didn't take long and in come the white towel. Man this just a lil much for me. Finally got the first one in and Taylor had to go straight into another very intense battle. All 3 sharks (70 to 90lbs) eventually winded up in the bottom of the WHIPASNAPA awaiting their ride to shore and their place on the grill. Mr. Taylor says marinade that SHARK in Italian dressing and red wine vinegret over night and yum yum yum!
Thanks to all great time: never thought would just be reporting on 1 or 2 trips a week in mid June. But canceled 4 offshore trips so felt pretty good to pick up couple. Run some surveyors out to Horn Island.
Come on down keep this Capt. boating. Ain't to pretty but we sure looking good!
