Great day out at the 1st island of the CBBT! Blues & others jumping all around the boat the whole day….caught the biggest spot I’d ever seen, then used him to catch this shark…..caught a couple of them today….along with a bunch of croakers we used for bait….hooked into something good (likely a red) but couldn’t bring it in due to mishap (damn!)…..and just when we packed up to go a keeper cobia came up to the boat to say goodbye (bastard!)….all-n-all a good day on the water!
