Beer Wine and Shark Fishing!

I don't know if true or not, but what I've read is that the outer skin should not be allowed to touch the meat, nor should the fillets be allowed to touch the cutting board where the skin had touched/rested. According to this the urea taste is on the skin and readily transfers to the meat if allowed to touch.

I've only cleaned one shark in the last few years. I followed this and did not get any urea taste that I could tell.

FWIW

BTW, I plan to be there if I can and I will have a woven rope with a bit of rebar tie wire inserted to stiffen it and hold it open for shark tails. No guarantees, either of my presence or the rope working, but Ill try.

so the sharks are caught. cleaned on the pier. remains discarded back into the water for other sharks to eat. :D

...rinse, repeat ;-)

maybe the sharks are as smart as crows. whenever we hang a dead crow from our pecan tree they tend to leave it alone. dead sharks thrown over might have the same effect.

Actually, there is some evidence that the scent of shark blood a/o flesh does repel sharks from an area.
Wouldn't it be ironic if the first shark is caught, filleted & the carcass tossed over and then all the other sharks disappear for the rest of shark week??????

... whatever it takes!

I will say when I worked for DISL we would long line for sharks and it was a commmon occurrence for BIG sharks to go down the line and eat every smaller shark right to the head!

Hay,I agree, I think your opinion of sharks is like my opinion of copperheads or snakes in general. Less is better.

I was on the old pier the day (early 90's if I remember correctly) a guy hooked and landed (yes, it was brought up on the pier) a hammerhead that was as long as 3 of the concrete slabs were wide (I'm guessing that the old slabs were 3' wide). It took 8 people to bring the shark up on the pier. A gaff and 2 ski ropes were used (shark was gaffed close to the head and raised up out of the water until it died, then a ski rope was dropped down and wrapped around its head and the 2nd ski rope was dropped down and wrapped around its tail). Once the shark was decked, pictures were taken, and then the guy had several friends come help him drag it down the pier and loaded it into the back of a truck. I don't know if there was any truth to it or not, but I was told by someone who fished the pier a lot at the time that the shark was entered in the OB shark tourney and won.

Actually I think ya'll are dreaming I'll believe a SHARK WEEK when I see it Hope they do but I just don't see them letting you catch sharks off the pier If they do you are not going to get a big shark over that rail I've seen many sharks caught off N C piers over the years and the only way to land it is to Beach it Doubt they are going to allow that but hope they will Something has to be done about the shark problem at the pier Hopefully they are at least trying to figure out something

I would love to to battle with the man in the gray suit. Watch this for some idea on what I would like to do from the pier....

Rod...Check
Rig....Check
Bait...Check
Beach landing....no go :(:(:(:(

Curious, whats the price for a beer?

Craft Beer .?.

Checked with the powers that be and they suggest a shark week is just rumours. Just passing along state employees information.

When I was leaving the bartender asked Gainer to remove his glasses and everyone was peering into his eyes! They had IPA s in the can!

While there I talked to a State Park rep. He said IF this passes legislation, the Shark fishing will be for 1 night only and permits sold for at least $100 for the night.

well that's a letdown...

Like I said PICS, or it will not happen.

Forget me! I don't want a shark so much as I want a few of them gone.

$100 for 1 night of fishing is insane, especially when people can drive down to navarre and catch sharks for the price of a pier pass, i dont see anyone paying for the permit

Question: this no shark thing a , Pier thing or State thing ?

The pier (which is owned by the state) has always had a "no shark fishing" policy (or they have since I started fishing the pier back in the mid-80s).

Pier, State Park, Orange Beach, and Gulf Shores. Most go to Fort Morgan for shark fishing.

Can you fish for them from the beech next to the pier?

No. You cannot fish for sharks anywhere on the beach in Gulf Shores or Orange Beach. Big fine.

Only from a boat.

You aren't supposed to do any kind of fishing from shore within 100 yards of the pier---or from a boat for that matter.

I broke the law :eek:. I've surf fished twice, Are you sure? Where'd you hear that from?

After the video I am getting hungry. $100 for one night is a little over the top. Next time down will head for Ft. Morgan or may be the bay. The grill is calling.

Haywire shares your opinion of venomous snakes too, he dispatches them with with much prejudice.

I'd love to park my panga under the cleaning table and murder some blacktips, but the lead rain would be a bummer.

Don't worry Tom-everyone will be at the pier house drinking beer and wine!

100.00 for a one day permit is just ridiculous , I guess they really don't want to do it , They can say you had a chance too ,

EZ way to say NO, Without having to say NO
