4-20-07 Bob Hall Pier Report

I headed out to Bob Hall Pier to meet up with R.Lopez. The day was beautiful and we wished we went down the beach, but I had to stay within phone range since we had an animal in rehab.

When I first got out there, I decided to fish the front for bait. I ended up catching three whiting and two keeper drum. I traded off one of the drums for two pompano. I headed out to the end and picked up a small ray.

R.Lopez was already fishing the end and had caught a sharpnose shark and a bonnethead. I rigged up and sent my rods out. While waiting for the bigger stuff to go off, I fished for smaller fish. I ended up catching a keeper Spanish mackerel and lost another huge one. I also got a sand trout that we used for bait and several bonnethead sharks that were released.

No decent sharks caught. All were small. We ended up with 13 sharks. 7 bonnethead sharks, 5 sharpnose sharks, and one finetooth shark.
