My wife and i decided to try BHP for sheepies despite the dirty water conditions and not so beautiful day. The only thing we saw caught were bonnetheads by the dozens and a few whiting and heardheads. here is one of the many...

while we were having fun just toying with these little guys a man on the end with a 12 to 14 inch whiting for bait sees his rod bow over like crazy. by the time he gets to it the fish (possibly) had dropped the bait. all he had left of the bait was a whiting head. I am still battling the little sharks hoping i might get a whiting or a sheepie or something other than a bonnethead when my rod bends good. after a 20 minute tug of war i get this guy....

thought about keeping it for shark bait but released it. i finally caught a whiting and decided to re-rig for a possible larger shark. sent it off the end and within a few minutes my rod was bouncing and bent over good. it felt weird on the line and when i got it to the pier i found out it was a turtle....great....while deciding what to do the turtle breaks the line and swims off.... great.... felt kinda bad about it but hey what do ya do?

so we are packing up and apparently no one else around had a drop net so i get called to the T to net a fish. i get there and find that its a big cownose. BONUS. the people didnt want it so gladly gave it to me. HECK YEAH!!! thats totally shark bait for a trip in the not so distant future! here it is, wife smiling cuz she knows i will let her reel in the beast that bites this bait...

the wind picked up and we packed up. LOTS and LOTS of bonnetheads. that was basically the story for the night. cant wait for that blue water to come in and the fishing to be on fire! Tight Lines!

Maybe not what you were looking for but a consistantly bent rod is a beautiful thing.
