Fished in the AM and PM (6a - 10a), then again later (4p - 7p).
In the AM netted baitfish, greenies maybe, and threw those on a couple different bottom set ups with light and heavy weights.
Got a 15" flounder, small spanish, a couple ladyfish, and 2 jacks. Got some on the baitfish and some on jigs.
Fellahs near me got a few small sheepshead and jacks on cut shrimp.
In the afternoon, a couple guys out there had loads of monster-sized sheepshead, really big ones.
I netted bait again, there were a lot spanish around, but I struggled getting any on the bait, they were biting though. This time the bait was greenies again, but with a few baby bluefish mixed in.
The main catch for me and several folks who stayed on the shoreline to fish was bonnethead sharks (maybe hammerheads, but their heads weren't really hammer-shaped).
I got a 4 foot one and a 3 foot one, and I probably saw about 12 more landed and released ... only one of the shoreline ones didn't make it back alive.
It was fun action.
THROW MORE BACK
