I don't think there's any soup puns left

I haven't posted on here in awhile but I figured I should update my fellow shark fishermen on some of my recent outings. For most of the spring I was  too distracted by spiny swimbait eating fishes to spend as much time going after the sharks, but recently I've been hitting the sand again for bigger game. The shark fishing was on fire last week. Lots of soupfins around. I wasn't expecting much pulling up to the beach during the early summer but 15 minutes after casting my reel started screaming and it was full speed from there. Over the course of three nights I went 9 for 12 on grinners! My best week yet. I've had a few multiple shark nights before but never for this many days at a time. A couple of confused bat rays showed as well. All of the fish were caught on light line surf species such as croaker, perch, and Corbina; I'd show up to the beach either the morning before or a few hours before sunset to make bait. This last weekend brought in a nasty swell and a lot of kelp to most of the SD beaches but hopefully things'll clear up again soon.

Night 1: fish caught on Yellowfin Croaker + Corbina (gratuitous 18.5'' Corbina pic from that morning; I did not cut that one up for bait)

Night 4: Skunk

Highlight of the week was the shark I caught at sunset on night 3 (the 26th). I tried multiple times to tail her in the wash but she kept spinning out of my grip. 5 or 6 tries later and I was essentially wrestling the animal in the suds while a small crowd gathered to watch. All of a sudden it rubbed through the 100lb leader and I grabbed/tackled it right as it was about to rocket away and give me the biggest embarrassment of my shark fishing career. While dragging it up the beach it tried to bite me and grazed my ankle with its teeth. It's always been kind of on my bucket list to get bitten and although it was only a graze it at least makes for a good story.

I've been pretty boom or bust this year with the sharks haha; either been catching a bunch or catching nothing.

Sweet report Kam. Congrats, on a good season! Hopefully, we'll get a chance to meet and fish together next season.

Thanks Andre, I'm definitely down to fish with you. This season might not be over yet haha I'm gonna do some more scouting once the surf cleans up.

Hey boss, I'm trying to piece everything together to make it easier on me.  Just drop the "Length - Sex - Bait - Surf Height - Tide   - County Caught"for me?  two of them look the same and I don't want to guess on so many things I'm not sure about.  Thanks boss, I appreciate it.  You are jumping a ton of peeps and will get some guys ready for the fall season!  Sorry its taking so long to get on the boards, but it's hard to guess the tides/sizes etc. I got the dates from the links.
