Jeff and Ryan hit Pins in early June and this is a sampeling of their report! 
"Finally we get a glimpse of an unknown shark in the wave.....it looks decent from the tower but the shark kept its head low and body parallel to the beach....at first I call Tiger....based off the long tail. But as we get the stubborn fish in the wade gut I see the dorsal better and realize this is not a tiger liked I had initially hoped.....I am thinking surely this is no bull....please not a bullshark. My heart sank....as I saw the side of the shark and there were no stripes.... it fought way too hard and didn't seem to have enough girth to fight as hard as it fought. Texas bulls have always been weak fighters. The first attempt at a tail rope was thwarted off as the shark faced them up and wanted no part of being tail roped. I yelled from the tower to them to just let it go for a sec so we didn't scare it. I doubt they could hear me....but they backed off and made a loop back around on the shark and got behind it again and attempted to do another tail rope. After what seemed eternity to me...lol Ryan grabbed the tail slid the rope on the tail and Joey ran back wards as fast as he could to take the slack out and the rope cinched down on the tail and only then was I stress free. At that point the shark started throwing its tail around and the head became visible and I remember Ryan yelling it's a hammer!" 
That is one Helluva nice fish guys! One great way to kick off summer! The weed has been giving us some problems lately but I am hoping it is a temporary set back and will leave us alone for the rest of the summer fishing season.

Coastal Fishing Texas was established in 2005 out of a need for a member friendly web site and forum where my family and friends could hang out, post in the message board, tell fishing lies, drink a lot of beer and just have a good time. Our specialty is surf fishing for sharks, redfish. trout, pompano, spanish mackerel and the rare surf flounder. Our memebers have decades of experience on the beach dating all the way back to the early 1960s. Even though our main specialty is shark fishing we still get our share of skinny water fishing in when we fish the Laguna Madre and the Bays. The Padre Island National Seashore is our primary beach for surf fishing. It has over 60 miles of open driveable beach. Most of the beach is only accessible by 4x4 truck. It is a very remote and primitive area. If you ever plan to venture down island you need to be prepared for some very bad driving and sudden high tides. The harsh conditions on the beach breeds some very colorfull characters to say the leaste. I am proud to call these folks my friends and extended family. |
