Reel Adventure Charters 10-9-08 report…..it’s a good one!
October 9th, 2008 by CCCB PressThe Wrightsville Beach Fishing and Carolina Beach Fishing has been hot the past couple of days. We have had a great week with Spanish on Fly (you have to see the video!), Black drum on a new fly I designed..”the transformer ”(the tying video is below), and we boated a 164 pound Bull Shark. The shark was weighed and filleted and eaten so it did not go to waste. It is the biggest one to date we have landed and it surpassed John Ribbles and Paul Rocha’s 131 lb baby shark. LOL, I hope they are reading this, if so give me a call! This shark fulfilled my quest for a citation shark and again was not wasted so I hope I dont catch the grief from some that have nothing better to do than gripe about a dead shark, it has happend before. Sorry but I dont mean to be rude, it is a legal catch and will feed quite a few families!
Sorry for the lack of reports. I have just been flat out busy!! I also had to get a new I phone and reset everything in it. That takes forever when its not backed up! Unfortunately I fell in the water with my last one, so Phelpsy…….I know its comming let me have it! You are now off the hook for going overboard and me laughing about it all day. Lots of you may not get this, its a long story.
Here are SOME of the pics and videos! I will have alot more next report. I hope you enjoy them and please give us a call to get hooked up. Now is the best time of the year to fish!
