My son, a friend and his son, and another friend decided to make an early season shark run yesterday, Sunday 6/10. We ran about 30 miles south of Montauk and setup in 59/60 deg greenish water. Blue shark city!! Started fishing around 7:15am and within 15min had our first shark on and it never stopped after that. By 9:30am we were all done catchin blue shark but decided to stick it out and sight fish. We managed to keep ourselves entertained by trying to sneak-out baits, playing with the blue sharks, catching blue fish and live baiting some blue fish. We actually could not sneak a bait out, all day!! Had the best runoff of the day on a live bait, but the fish somehow missed the hook. The east wind didn’t let down until later in the day. The wind made for a fast drift and half the ride in was a little lumpy. All in all a nice day to start off the sharking season. We found plenty of sharks, just have to work on color now!!
Thanks,
