I'm still down for a night or two of serious sharking during June 4-6.
Save & freeze any rays, Bluefish, Bobos & King heads for bait if ya plan on coming.
I will have two extra rods.Ragnar Benson:

I am still planning on coming down to Ft Morgan the last few days of April and into May. My brother and I will be trying for Bull Reds and sharks with our casted spinning gear. Would be awesome if anyone experienced wanted to meet us down there during that time.
Also, I could really use some assistance on spooling up my two reels. I have a conflict 8000 with ~400yds of 65# Power Pro currently. I also have a FN Lethal 100 that needs line. Should i stick to 50-65# braid on both? Should I add topshots of mono to either? Would appreciate advice from anyone who has done some shark fishing off the point in Ft Morgan.

I am too old to handle this sport anymore but really enjoy reading about you guys and the activity. I will be a regular reader if a page is devoted to the subject. Good Luck and exercise care. I still enjoy catching some edible fish off the pier.

For sharking the spinners on the beach I would do 65-80# Sufix 832 braid with a long topshot of 50# mono, at least as long as your farthest cast.

Make sure the braid is spooled on 'tight'.Ragnar Benson:

Between when you start and when you leave, plus or minus two degrees.

Would that temp be for sea level only? At 1000 feet above sea level water boils at a much lower temp. I need to know when to be ready when we have a sharknado!!!!!!!

Well, after several hours making phone calls, I was able to track down a certain manufacturer’s service center in California. Thankfully, they agreed to send out my needed parts. These were left over...
You would think I would know this!
