Chatham
 

I was invited out by a friend to fish Chatham, a place that I have "0" experience. So we headed out the night before to do a little recon, we spotted bait, whales and monster blues just outside the harbor. Couldn't believe the whale show that we were seeing!!!

The next morning we head out to Crab Ledge to see what we can do. There were no signs of bait, whales, or anything except shark fins.... They were not boat shy at all... At one point a Thresher shark was swimming by and we looked down and there was a great white coming to the boat! :shocked:
We agreed that it was around 16' long.

I was thankful that we were in a high gunnel boat at that time... Needless to say I needed to change my underwear when we got back.....

Can't wait for the next trip.....

Is that because of the sharks or because it was Sunday?

Sounds like a cool day on the water regardless of whether you caught anything or not.

Saved the day by catching blues.....

That is cool. How many times will you see a great white swim by your boat!!

Was that fish smiling as it approached? Looks like he was thinking "mmm... I'mma eat me some of that."

Shape is more of a basking shark. There are a few that have taken up residence there the past 3 weeks or so. One was swimming in the commercial bass fleet.

the truth of what happen, know we know why he soiled himself

Was that chubby kid you Skippy????

O.D.Mike That shark thought you guys were a tour boat.

On my way back, passing thru crab ledge, we passed next to 3 very large basking sharks. I have some photos someplace....but can't find them but they were damn big. The large triangular dorsal fin is really impressive.
