Since there's a clean up planned with divers , Wouldn't you think it maybe a good idea to have SHARK week before clean up ?

Permits will be sold from what I've been told! Pier pass is included in the price! 6/0 is coming down from Silverdale and bringing his 8/0!Quote:

I think I remember in my twenty's, at a pier somewhere around Ft. Walton, a few good ole boys who had no trouble lassoing a shark's tale and laughing like hell as they hauled it over the rail. If I remember right, it was near 5 ft. Tourist with children rushed toward the thrashing thing for a good photo. Did not seem like all that a big deal, in my drunken youth.
Yep, that is 4 1/2feet Fork Length!Quote:

We used to land sharks that size from the old DI Pier, but it was only 12 feet above the water...
From what i remember of my youth in california the key was using a couple sturdy gaffs to get it most of the way up, and then doing like Bodebum said and roping the tail to get it over, also saw quite a few guys tie the shark off hanging over the rail by the tail until it was dead or at least very weakened before hauling it over, which seemed like a good idea to me
I think all sharks should be gaffed, subdued if necessary, measured carefully, then returned to the water if undersized. Perhaps they could be neutered before being released.
