Anyone up for some beach/yak sharking across the FL line soon?

Peaches I will be down the weekend of the 15th and my 50W should be fixed by then and ready for some toothy critters. I also have a deep freezer full of bones as well.

Hey peaches, just let me know when you can. Would love to Saturday or Sunday night. Got to work tomorrow, and sat morning but I'm off sunday and monday. Got to get all the fishing in I can the next 2 weeks.

Dang'it boy, am I not even worthy of an, "I don't know you, bugger off." reply? :poke1:

I know Saltfisher was interested in feeding some poor malnourished sharks.

Give me a couple of weeks to catch up on this wood working and I'll be ready to line a beach with surf rods and lanterns...Might need to catch a few bluefish for bait or go to the marina for some big fish heads.

Heres an old pic..we spent the early afternoon catching blues then turned them into sharkbait that night...Kind of hard to do that these days with all of the night swimmers there...I think it might be illegal in Orange Beach now as well.

Chumming and Sharking from the beach is technically outright banned in Alabama in general.
The wording of the law gives Carte Blanche to whichever authority in deciding if they'll screw you or not, as they decide what constitutes 'Unsafe Condition'.
Chumming is just out of the question, they'll nail ya.
As for sharking, be inconspicuous, be fishing for Bull Reds or big Rays, anything but specifically targeting sharks.
"WOW! We caught a shark! I didn't know there are sharks out here?"

I've not had any hassles yet while exercising common sense on the beach.

Not sure when planing to do it yet.. But these Alabama laws have absolutely nothing to do with my post... Will have a better idea of when I'd like to later today probably
