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

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 . . .

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

[chefchris401]

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.

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

[chefchris401]

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.

[MarshCappa]

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

[niko]

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.

[bart]

very cool!

[tlapinski]

What is the set up on the terminal end? Hooks, leader etc.?

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

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

[Rob Rockcrawler]

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.

[niko]

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.

[lamigsb1]

South cape. Bit of a walk to the outflow though
