After not getting a bite toward Elmer's Island, we went back to the fishing bridge and caught 3 nice sheepshead. One weighed in at six pounds!! We also caught two gaff tops that went better than five pounds. I lost a couple of beasts. One bit through my leader, and the other broke my line as I tried to fight two fish because my dad was talking to someone. By the time he came back, it was too late! It doesn't take much for me to have fun, but today was an absolute, silly blast. And the cool thing is, I didn't even land the bull I was looking for. Thanks for all the tips, and I'll post some pics when I can!
I'd love to get one of my children hooked up with a bull shark. What were y'all using for bait?
