Great weekend. We have to go back to the island. A few pics for the
disbelievers and naysayers and a brief overview. Friday November 7 We caught a Fat Albert on the Catamaran in
light wind. Jeff Cash was the rod man. We made Ceviche for dinner with the Fat Albert and used the head
for shark bait Jeff Cash successfully deployed the head of Fat Albert out about
450yds in a sea kayak at Prime Shark Time days end and yours
truly landed a 6 foot Bull Shark. Saturday after 20 minutes of high speed fun I decided it was too
windy to safely sail fish so we paddled out the remarkably
undamaged Fat Albert head. In a short while I had a 8’ 6” Sand
Tiger on and eventually put him on the beach. We took some
photos and released it which is pretty exciting opportunity to
make a mistake pulling a Sand Tiger by the tail. Later that afternoon John Ashworth deployed bait and I caught
and released another enormous Sand Tiger from the beach. This
one was 8 ‘ long and fought a much harder than the one before.
I wasn’t sure who was going to win the battle for a while. Late in the afternoon John Ashworth deployed bait and was the
rodman to catch something we could finally eat, a tasty Atlantic
Sharpnose. The shark was a large contribution to the fish we
had for dinner that night. Sunday John Ashworth deployed bait I was told (the last picture)
Heath Byrd was the rodman on a very large and strange looking
ray that I’m confident someone can ID. Victor Jones |

  We were on the island on Memorial Day weekend and caught a big drum, big blue, several trout and whitings and lots of skates. No better place to celebrate your 50th birthday than fishing on the island with good friends! Special thanks to Annette for getting a birthday cake and having it sent over on the big day - the ferry staff goes the extra mile and we really appreciate them! |

 Our second trip to Calo this spring 5/11 to 5/18 was filled with lots of wind, lots of big blues, the largest 35” and this highlight a 42 inch drum. Thanks Jayson Margura for snapping a few pics for me. And to the crew of Davis Ferry, thank you again for all you do. Mark and Kathie Kennedy, LaGrange, NC |

  My brother aka "Sea Striker" and I went on the inaugural trip for our first beach wagon, "The Dinosaur." The second day of the trip was producing mostly sharks, skates, and rays, but around 10:00pm Sea Striker's drum rod started to sing. Another buddy grabbed the rod and started hollerin for Sea Striker. Sea Striker, excited as a sixteen year old boy at prom night, rushed to the rod and began the battle. We were hopeing and prayin that this was not another shark. After about 35 minutes of combat fishin, Sea Striker said, "Get the light, he's right here in front of me." The beam of light searched the dark, foamy water to discover a 49" Red, exhausted from battle. Everyone was pumped!!!!!!We fumbled with the camera, snapped some good shots and worked the "Big Guy" back into the surf, making sure we didn't let go of him until he had his strength back. Here's the proof. Thanks, Zack Raynor aka "RAYNOR" |
