The last two weeks I’ve gone fishing I’ve caught a shark. Not that I mind, but this week I decided to chase some of the black drum, trout, and other good eats I’m reading about on here so I went to the river to fish the lagoon and NIR area.
I put in at Riverbreeze and went straight to the “bush.” I didn’t catch anything of note until almost lunch time.
I was free-lining a finger mullet, within eyesight of JB’s fish camp no less (where I was stopping for lunch), when the drag started going so I set the hook. To my surprise, deep up the river, I caught another shark!
Three sharks in three weeks… I think they’re following me now.
It wasn’t the biggest shark, about a three footer, but I thought it surprising to catch yet another shark so far in the river system.
Here’s a quick vid of the lil’ guy.
There are some massive sharks in our lagoon systems. Check out Ryan Wood, one of our contributors YouTube channel. RW Outdoors. He set’s up camp on the spoil island around here and catches some big sharks. It’s pretty awesome to watch! Thanks for sharing your fishing adventure with us!
Consider yourself lucky! There’s been more times than I care to admit that I sought out sharks in the lagoon and came up empty-handed!
sharks are a blast to catch but no fun when wade fishing and one makes a wake and goes right next to you
JC, I’ll let you know where I go and you can have all you want… they seem to be following me anyway.
Fin, that would be scary.
