Chilie,
We are coming down Monday returning Friday, put down 4 for Thursday night.
OK, this is happening. :D
I will have three sharking rigs, tackle, baits and a yak.
I will also have all the gear necessary to land, collect data, tag and release any sharks.
The one thing I need is other people to safely and quickly accomplish these task for the healthy release of the shark.
At least one other person willing to yak baits out in daylight would be nice, at night even nicer.
If we catch a 54" or better Blacktip or Spinner and you wish to harvest it, I have no problem with it.
Any legally retainable species that for some reason dies will be harvested.
Any other sharks over 4' will be tagged for science.
I highly recommend you bring the following if you're going to be a part of the sharking team
Close fitting gloves, I like the Mechanix type
A bright headlight & extra batteries
Flashlight & extra batteries
Balls and the willingness to get personal with a pissed off shark
Brains and common sense to safely do the above
Other items to bring which can make your stay on the beach much nicer.
Fishing gear
Bait cooler
Cooler with drinks/snacks
Extra clothes as it cools off, wind chill
Long pants/sleeves against bugs
Change of underwear/socks
Bug spray & baby powder
Towel and/or blanket
Comfy beach chair
Glow sticks
Good headlight & flashlight
Camera
Some people, especially those with kids, bring a small tent or ground blind.
Flashlights & a bucket can keep kids occupied for a long time chasing crabs & shells
The most important thing to bring is a smile and happiness for just being on the beach with your toes in the sand.
Chilli,
i was able to secure another sharking rig. A 6' -80lb stand up and penn 6/0 so we'll have 4 rigs if we want. I'll also have time terminal tackle as well.
I'm excited and I'm not even able to go. Good luck. I recommend posting live updates!
I'm thinking the second beach access after crossing Perdido Pass going East.
Very easy access.
Should start clearing out about 5pm, we can get in, set up and run baits before sunset.
Or we can all buy FL nonresident 3 day licenses and fish in Florida. No risk of being ran off over there if someone complains.
is the Perdido pass Alabama side?? I'm good with buying a Fl 3 day lic but if can fish with the Alabama lic and be ok im down with saving the money.Quote:

Chile, I would say fish FL. There is a good access point right next to the first condos on the right after you go through the small state park area there in Perdido key. The have restrooms and a shower. Short walk to the beach as well. If I am able to make it one of those nights, I have a small and a large sharking rig to use as well as my kayak if we need a second one. Get my work schedule in the next couple of days and will know for sure.
Jhatch, restrooms & a shower are really nice amenities to have available.
Beats a bucket & bag.
I'm game with that. For sure nice to have.Quote:
