We got blown out on Friday, a lot of boats did go out and got knocked around pretty good. We stayed close had a few beers and banged the stripers and blues for a while. We got out early Saturday. Pretty snotty ride out, but once we set up it wasn't to bad, probably 4-6 with the occassional 8 footer mixed in. The conditions were actually really conducive to shark fishing. Nice moving water with strong winds. We had a great drift over some nice structure, had the best looking slick I can remember. I figured we'd have a shot at a big fish, didn't happen. Only had 2 sharks all day... a 7 and 8 footer (both released unharmed). The front that hung around all weekend may have something to do with it... who knows. I think there were only 4 sharks weighed in on Saturday. A lot of boats were skunked. Very rare for this tournament. Still a great time as usual.
