December 18th The few weeks since Thanksgiving was fairly active with plenty of small Sharks and bull Reds. The Sharks however have thankfully headed south following the warmer water as our area waters have finally cooled off a bit. In my nearly 3 decades of fishing, I have never caught Sharks into late November, much less December. It was the Summer that never would end and gave us historic warm water temps. The bull Reds are starting to move offshore now, and the last couple of trips to the river mouths and inshore sandbars have only provided a few fish each trip.

Lots of fun top water action on Blacktips as well as a few monster Bull Sharks. 1 Broken reel, 2 snapped rods, countless sore muscles and lots of entertaining moments later, I can say that it was truly one of the best weeks of the Summer as far as action goes. We are experiencing some very extreme tides over the next several days and that may negatively affect things, but we will just have to see. By mid week, the tides start to come back to normal and…
