Roy Leyva does it quite well!! :uhuh:

Send him a PM?? Or friend him on FB! Roy would be glad to help!!

send Dominic out in a rubber inner tube....:biglaugh:

South facing beaches at sundown. Large (LARGE) bluefish chunk on however long of a single strand wire leader you can cast. (7'-9')
Forget the sand spikes or you'll be chasing it thru the surf.
We used to be pretty good at it off Nantucket.

I'd be down. Pretty sure dead eels do damage on brown sharks...

I'd soooo love to do this....

I'd be down. Pretty sure dead eels do damage on brown sharks...
yes they do. Live eels too. I'm no expert by any means but have gotten them for the past few years.
Once you get them close to shore hang on! Each crashing wave kinda gives them a re-charge. I've had them peel off over 100 yds after having it in 1' of water.

Caught many a brown shark fishing PINS back in the 80s.Even caught one off of 2nd beach in Middletown several years back.

Brother in law caught one down the vineyard having a beach day with the family, last eel, spiked rod and straight 30# mono :D

the more the merrier, actually we'll need a few guys if we get one.

Count me in Paul, been wanting to try it for awhile. Some good beaches real close to me.

I'd be up for that too. I'm only a mile from a few good beaches too. Heck I'd just like to observe and socialize. I'm easily entertained.

Paul, I'm in!

Paul, I'd be very interested depending on the date. Even better if I could bring my son along. He's obsessed with sharks.

i'm over on canal by the church. so do we have anyone with a kayak? it would be nice to get a couple of baits out deeper. we could also use a few more stout chunking setups.

I got a yak....any dates and locations been tossed around yet?

how about sat july 28th. falmouth would be the area. they should be around by then. i'll do a little research and make sure thats not to early to try

Not too early. I might meet up with you guys.

I might be down for this. Going to keep an eye on things and make the long ride up if the better half doesn't already have plans. What are we talking for terminal tackle?

If that handsome beast of a man T.O. will be there, so will I....

I gotta work til 10PM that night but I'll swing by after since its in Falmouth

I'd love to get in on this. I'll over my kayak to paddle the bait out.

I'd be interested as well. I've been dying to catch a shark.

Seems like there's more than a few at nauset beach

Going to call RoyL today, get some info.
Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device

I might give it a go tonight, at a popular sandy spit a little northeast of south cape beach... Just soak a big chunk and see what happens... :hidin:

I'd have to be out on the 28th.....sorry gents

I might actually make this

I am so game for this I have just the rod for it can I bring my son he is 8

Parking might be an issue . . . I know the lot at Heights Beach are open (and staffed) until 11 . . . the others (heading East - Bristol Beach and further down Menahaunt might be locked as early as 9 pm . . . the Town seems to be inconsistent but Id hate to see anybody locked in overnight :rotf2:

Might be better off heading to the West of Falmouth Harbor - along surf drive - a great spot might be at the mouth of the Trunk river (a small herring run - aren't they all) - there is a small parking area along the bike path that is never locked - room for 20 cars right at the edge of the ocean. I'm going to try and post the spot from Mapquest - but I'm sure Professor M and some of the other locals know of what I speak - you can see the path leading off Oyster Pond Road toward the water in the attached map.

My weekend place is only a couple of miles away - I've been doing some long deferred maintenance (paint, lawn, etc) if I get it done maybe I'll have the crew over for burgers 'n dogs . . . I think the only one from the "I'm In" crew that has met me is Vic . . .

i'm gonna do a trial run next fri or sat night. need a kayak volenteer

This could be interesting.
I have a SOT " ride " yak.
And a stand up 50 wide tiagra set up for tuna. Buckle up!

We need some of this action:

The one that got away! / shark bait - YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZcuYjDR2tSg&feature=share)

Haha. Bull shark no?
Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device

that was a good size shark. i've reeled in a few tarpon heads in the keys. one trip we lost 3 huge tarpon in a row and we just said screw it and put out a few live jacks and got some nice bulls and a scary big hammerhead

Got some killer info and some gear coming to me next week and a prototype century shark rod to test out.

I also have a kayak I'll bring if needed.
Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device

sounds like we got a good crew for this. kids - bring them if you want. my kid wants in but i prob wont bring him on the 28th as it will be a late night. maybe we should do a kids trip for them. parking -we need some but some of us can meet up and cut down on cars if need be - maybe at gloustas. tackle - bring what you want for rods. i've got a chitload of terminal tackle for sharks and i'll tie up a bunch of different leaders. some for casting and some that will need to be yakked out. bait -we'll put a bunch of different stuff out - fresh macks, bluefish, pogie and eel. i'll bring a bucket of chum. we could use some glowsticks if anyone has any

Got some great info from a couple great surf shark guys :)

Thanks guys.

I would go to chatham. Although I will NOT be kayaking the baits through the surf!

Oh, better bring a 130.

That video was awesome!!! I love her shrieks!!

did a trial run last night and went 1 for 2. ended up fishing a spot w/o an inlet, my first spot was all weeded up. got one on the beach around 60 lbs and pulled the hook on another. used a baitrunner 6500 and a stout surf chunking rod. handled the first fish well and held it's own on the other one. leader setup was ok, though my 7 foot leaders might be a little short for a bigger fish. the second fish beat up the 4' section of 130# flouro pretty good. we are on for next sat night the 28th. still need to pick a beach that can handle us. we still need a kayaker if we can get one - ive got a couple of tuna spinning setups that will be fun for this but impossible to cast.

very cool!

What is the set up on the terminal end? Hooks, leader etc.?
Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device

I have a kayak if needed.

I also got in this morning a penn 12/0 spooled with 150lb Dacron and a prototype century fighting rod. Should be able to tame whatever we run into.

Nice work niko, too bad I missed out. Stupid truck
Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device

chris i could have used you - damn thing wanted to eat me, what a pia to unhook. for terminal setup - a 10/0 hook haywire twisted to 3-4' of 278# wire, to a swivel to a 3-4' section of 130#flouro with a fishfinder rig on it, to another swivel to the braid. but if we have a yak i'll use a wire and cable style rig like i use in the boat, just a little shorter - like 6' of wire and 6' of cable. at least if we get a bigger one on that rig we'll have a better chance if landing it

i was waiting for this report, glad ya got one.

yeah man was bummed out, they got the axle for the truck but too late in the day and you know mechanics, it hits 5pm and there done.

had everything ready to go. leaders are all set. and have that fighting reel/rod ready to go too.

trying to get everything lined up for next saturday again, need to figure out my work schedule, have two guys out for vacation and other just had has first kid 3 days ago, going to make it work one way or the other.

could use a few suggestions on locations. looking for an outflow next to a beach with some parking. trunk river looked interesting but looked pretty rocky on google earth. anyone know if the area has alot of boulders? a wide open beach would be best.

South cape. Bit of a walk to the outflow though

Didn't have a chance to smoke it last night. By the time I got home from the Vineyard after stopping for dinner, I was beat. Put the kid to bed, had a drink and fell asleep in a chair watching tv. I'm definitely looking forward to it, maybe tonight. Thanks again!

I was hoping to be in for this but I got friends coming to Eastham next weekend. I have always wanted to do this at the Nauset cut in Eastham. But I will probably be able to secure some bluefish Saturday morning if someone wants them let me know
Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device

anyone know how far the outlet for waquoit is from south cape beach? is overnight parking cool for scb. the other option seems to be trunk river. anyone have a usefull opinion either way? winds look light for the weekend

bataan death march...i fished scb week ago saturday night...no joy, beach was crowded...

Death march doesnt sound fun
Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device

The classic area to do this is S Cape Beach. It is large and there is plenty of room to fish. The Waquoit entrance is probably 1/2-3/4 mile down but it empties through very long jetties so you would not be fishing any outflow and I doubt it is worth the full walk to shark fish. I do not know what the parking situation is but I assume it is open at night (whether the Town lot or State lot I don't know).

Trunk river is, by comparison, a much smaller scale place. It is open at night, but the outflow is tiny (think 2-3 feet across and a few inches deep). Probably sharks prowl both places but I suspect your chances for a fish are better at S Cape. I have never done it so I am not sure.

is it crazy to try and do poppy? the place has very limited parking. out of the other 2 choices scb sounds like a better choice. who's really coming. do we have few enough guys to sneak into poppy

I'm in. I just need to figure out if I have the right gear for it.

Going to try to make it. If I can, should I bring the kayak to drop some baits out?

bring the yak rick. it only increases our chances. we need some fresh dead eels and some other misc fresh baits - if anyone is fishing friday and gets any pogies,macks, blues. put them on ice

I'm in
Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device

i'll be there

I'm in niko and if u wanna ride together we can cut down on a car that way like I said before I am in Marshfeild also
Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device

I'll bring the eels. As long as someone reminds me. My memory is pretty stinky.

Oregon Beach, Cotuit? No gate at the parking area.

If I keep blues Saturday morning for you guys is there any one that wants to come meet me somewhere? I will be in Eastham

foli = looks interesting. how big is the parking area? jb - thanks for the fresh bluefish offer.

Poppy is doable, but it will require carpooling. Easy to meet at the nearby supermarket and load into cars from there. There are six spots at poppy- If we're there at a reasonable time it should be easy to nab them. But a fallback plan would be required, of course. And if people aren't going to be in it for the long haul (IE leaving before sunrise) it's definitely not the best place to be- I'd go SCB or Cotuit.

I'm hoping to make it- getting over a bug & injury, have to see how I'm doing Friday.

Been absent here. I was going to say Craigville or Dowses as I know guys that do it there But they are locked up after 9 and not sure if they would make a stink if U parked along road. Oregon in Cotuit is good too. Parking for at least 10 cars and along road probably too. I am still going to try to attend but not sure yet

Better decide quick or else we have to find something else for chum.

Oregon Bch is so shallow that at high water you
can wade out 75 yds. With a dropping tide Sat.
Nite you would be walking your bait out about a
1/4 mile. At Trunk you can chum in the outflow and
have it carried out for you also lots of parking.

As a matter of fact if you don't like
Trunk how about Menauhunt outlet
from Great Pond. Lots of good parking
and easy to get to from Rt 28 via
Teaticket and Maravista Rd.

in the interest of making a decision lets try south cape beach. cotuit will be the backup if scb is all weeded up. i got the fish at scb last weekend.

planning on getting down there at 7:30. lets hope for an improving forcast.

Gonna decide Saturday afternoon. 2.5 hour drive is a bit much for me to get chased off a beach due to lightning :fury:

Niko.
At SCB you going to be out front of parking
lot or to right down by opening??? May
join simply as a student and observer>

There is a parking lot right on the beach.

The state lot or mashpee lot? I assume you are planning on the state lot, but people need to realize there are two side-side access points, but they use different access roads.

there is a large paved lot off great oak rd that is right on the beach. i do not know if it is the state lot or the mashpee lot. right now the forcast is calling for 20% chance of thunderstorms and light winds out of the north.

sounds like a dozen guys are in. line of showers coming through conn now but should be gone by the time we get down there. see everyone down there

AND???

Let's just say er got a little wet and the camera flashes where great

Sorry I couldnt make it, was sharked out after a few huge blue dogs while tuna fishing Sat. Hope you guys did well and can't wait for the pics.

sucked. fished in the rain/wind for a while but couldnt hold bottom with all the mung. some of the boys went to duxbury after, dont know how they did. today went considerably better :hihi:

I was just about to leave from Osterville and head over around 8:30 or so and I saw the radar and said I think I will stay in tonite. It sure did pour cats and dogs.

Fish for a few hours and caught 4 small sand tiger!

Really wanted to go, but the almost two hour drive and the pouring rain at my house and weather forecast, I stayed in and wrapped a new rod instead, and drank a few breckinridge vanilla porters.

Will make the run eventually or hit a place in RI closer to home.

If anyone lives close to SCB can you give me an update on the water?
I may try again friday night! :smash:

i dont much about sharkin' linesider, but they're predicting heavy rain and wind on friday!:fury:

well that stinks. thanks

I will be at poppy this upcoming weekend. Planning on giving it a shot Sunday night. If anyone would like a weed report before making the trip down, send me a pm with your email and I'll update Friday or Sat.
