As well you should be. I will try to be there once again, not sure yet.
I was just talking to a buddy of mine the other day and he said that the high point of the sharking season will be August 22 give or take, so you will be right in the thick of things.
Ray over at Grumpys I think has the bug as well, with all the talk I have been giving you and the outings plus hearing of others doing well he is supposedly going out tonight. I hope he does well. I'll stop over there tomorrow unless he signs up here. I was talking to him about the site.
Happy bunker grinding... :P

I will be there this time.. Have to see these.
-
Sounds like fun t^
-
Nice a night that I'm off work and no work the next morning.
I should be there and will try to talk the wife into going.
Ya know Ken, they say third time's the charm.
-
Hi Chris, I sounds like Ken will be real busy on Friday. With the amount of people that are planning to show up. It was a fun night and as always it was good to see more members of the board.
Maybe I will be out there on Friday night for a while it might be a little later for me though.
Happy Catching

I was there for the first outing,it was a great night meeting a bunch of avid fishermen and swapping fishing lies I mean authentic fishing adventures. I was the guy that brought the scope to view saturn and moon craters. If its a clear night I'll bring it. Again I'll say -- its' an easy good fun time,,making new friends and learning how to do what we do smarter. Thanks Ken for all the time,$, effort you put into making this happen,, anybody got a food (fish) blender processor you'd like to donate to Ken he'll take it.
-
this is really going to be the best night yet. a party on the beach, end of summer bash. cant wait to meet you all. if you plan on comming out drop a line in this post, i wanna make sure we have enough stuff, bait food,ect. also if you plan on bringing stuff out post it here as well, this way we know what we need and dont need. its gonna be a blast.
-
what would I need to bring to fish, if I decide. I got the rod and reel, tackle for that type of fishing, I don't have.
-
you can bring any tackel to throw bunker off the beach. a fish finder rig with 8/0 to 10/0 hook. to use the surf rocket you will need a rod with braid mono works but these fish are big, and a 80# to 200# snapswivel. i should have anything you will need. glad your comming nick t^
-
how bout the leader... wire? of course...
-
yeah if your fishing your own bunker min 80# wire has been working great. we have been bitten off using 125# wire though. my bait shots have everything pre made up all you need is a rod and reel.
-
I gotta check my schedule, probably working till ten tht night but ill see if I can switch it. Would love to be there and meet everybody as well.
-

i supply the bunkertinis
-
Im working 6-4 saturday so I should be there.
-
sweet see you there
-
Looks like, if things hold up, I will be there with my brother and his brother in law.
-
Hi Ken,
Just a word of advise I would get there early if it is a nice day the weekends are a bear plus make sure you either have poles to get onto the beach to fish as the park closed at dawn to non fishermen or get there early enough to not worry about the time thing. They are pretty strict ask Rod.

Paul, thanks buddy i was thinking the same thing. thanks for the pics today. looks like we will have good weather again and the incomming tide. i cant weight. this polock finally smartened up this week. i have been going threw blenders,like a kid in a bowl of m&ms. I stopped at Murphys yesterday, they sell bunker chum in 5 gallon buckets. my stupid butt was buying 100 to 200 bunker,or getting them in my castnet.. too much time and money. 5 gallon pale of bunker chum is 22 bucks. you have to love polocks rofla rofla. i just opened it to see how it was thawing...... omg its still pretty frozen but smell, i had flys knocking at my door. my house smells like the bunny ranch the day their air conditioner broke hhppy

I'm planning on being there with the wife for 3-4 hours.

sweet eng5, this should be a great night!!!
bunkertinis anyone....... check out this mess!!!
soup anyone? rofla rofla hhppy
i am done making chum and its not even ten oclock.. soooo much easier this way. i do have a complaint though. who ever made this chum needs to take a little more pride in their work, i found a cockroach in the mix. rofla rofla you wouldn't find that in my bunkertini mix rofla rofla rofla. i will tell ya the whole time i was ladeling that stuff out of the bucket all i could think about was please lord dont let me find a finger, finger nail, or a wedding ring or something. a bunch of teeth in the bottom,omg that would have really been it for me. ITS ALL GOOD thank god,lol. a few more days fellas i get so excited, this night should rock. gotta go now and call the bunny ranch to find out the water to vinager ratio to get rid of this smell. rofla
-
lol rofla t^
-
Nice arsenal.
-
Should prove to be another interesting night.
Guys if you missed the first two Ken will put you out there where the big guys are. Be ready for anything as the height of the shark season will only be 4 days away from the 16th.
Bring your cameras as well this way you can bet on someone getting a shot of you landing that big shark.
Hope to see you there.
Happy Catching

Ken,, You have a better stomach then me,, can't help looking at that mess and thinking of "The Sopranos", a late night in Satriale's,don't eat the sausage!

whs :-X

What type of gear do you run? heaviest outfit I have is 11' TICA, Diawa Advantage Spinner loaded with 50# PowerPro, doubt this will suffice.
-
That will be right in the ball park. A lot of us run a little lighter as a matter of fact.
I have an 10' 6" Tica (Dolphin Series) with a Penn 560 Slammer with 30# PP. A lot of others are running strictly mono as well.
Just be ready for a good fight if something big hits. Last week one person fought one in the 5 - 6' range and it took him almost 2 hours to bring it to the beach and how about a run down the beach by about 800 yards or more from where he first felt the strike.
Paul

well. due to my practice of reading threads backwards, I realized that the date seems to be my girlfriends birthday. I don't think that's what she had in mind when she said go out for a "nice dinner" 5hrug
-
Check it out under beach talk in this weeks fisherman magazine. Its in the report under grumpys surf rockets launch party,lol.
-
everyone ready it going to be a blast

Hey Ken, I'll be there but I will probably be a little later than usual.

-
We are ready.. 10 of us.. my whole dang family. They are packing for a weekend trip..lol
Paul??.. your going???
we are getting there around 6PM so everyone doesn't need poles
-
Yeah, I should be there but I do not think I will be there that early though. I have to wait till tomorrow to see what the honey do list has on it and how much I can knock off it.
-
Cool Paul!!
-
sounds great everyone. i should be there eairly as well. i am getting ready still tonight making up the baits. nice and fresh. i am only making about 30 baits,no room in the freezer with all the chum,lol.i am going to stop and get fresh bunker on the way out there,for casting. i even have a special bang surprise for the night,lol should be interesting to say the least.have a great night everyone and see ya tomorow.
hey paul if you have time i could add some things to that list,thanks buddy. lol rofla
here sharky sharky sharky
-
There will be 4 of us, leaving Jackson around 5 - 5:30. I will be on the boat tomorrow first, leaving port at 7am. Hopefully if I can find some bunker in the marina, I will try to fill a cooler and bring it with me that night. Should be at the beach no later then 7pm.
-
sounds cool nick. good luck tomorow!! see you in the pm grtn
-
if i score on the bunker, I will give you a call so you don't have to pick any up. The only reason why I might not score, is that I am trailering the boat tomorrow to put back in the slip, and I usually succeed at first light.. In which i will not have tomorrow.
-
no biggie either way buddy. just plan on having a blast. your bringing the chicks right? lol.
-
no chicks, but like you said, it will be a blast.
-
rofla rofla yes it will.

Im just getting all my stuff together and waiting for everyone to get here. Probably get there around 730. Cant wait.
-
Just got home.. Fun Night. About 50 People.. No sharks landed since I left. I had a great fight for about 2 minutes. KEn had a fight that took all his line.. down to the knot. then snapped the pole in 2.
Great meeting everyone tonight.. can't wait till next time.
-
its 742am i'm just getting home. after everyone left i stayed to keep my fingers stinky,lol. hey she said she was a vegitarian,huh, could have fooled me.lol. great night,lots of fun. WHY COULDN'T ANYONE LAND ONE rgmn rgmn rgmn. rofla I guess thats why they call it fishing.
yeah about my rod.........
i set my buddys daughter up with my rod,launched her out a whole bunker. told her if she could land one of these monsters i would give her 100 bucks. i wanted to see a 11 yr old girl show up all these avid fisherman. the drag started screaming,pole just mangled...... snap!!! 10 foot ande rod bustid right in half as this beast proceeded to spool the real.wow what was it. ray or shark we will never know. i'm sure she will never forget that,she didnt even realise how big of a deal that was. a true beast on the hook. i'll pick up a new rod and try sgain mabey tonight. i will write more later,goin to sleep. thanks to all how showed up.
-
Hey. Last night was a great time. Enjoyed meeting everyone as well. Looking forward to another outing hopefully soon? Thanks ken for the bunker hookup and the wood and all the work you put into this.
-
Good to see everyone again and meet some new people last night. Great evening and nice weather.
Thanks to Ken for putting everything together again.
I think my little robin was the only thing landed. At least up till midnight.
Rod was like a little kid for that 2 minute fight. Too bad it got away, would have been nice to see it come on shore.
While I waiting to air up on the way out, I spoke with someone who was out with the makers of another bait launcher down towards the inlet, they had a few rigs bitten off, but nothing brought in either.
-
Hi All Great night thanks to all who showed up. It was great to meet some new faces that can now be put to the site names. It was to bad that we had no landings and I also talked to a group of guys airing up that were sharking as well not a part of either group and they had a number of hits and got spooled a couple of times but no landings. It was a strange night but all in all a great fun night with a lots of laughs.
Rod to bad your trophy was not landed it looked like the way your rod was bent that it was truly a good size fish. Nick and crew the same, you guys were hooked up a number of times but never saw the beach. Better luck next time, as there is still a bit of time left to the season and I know I will be out there casting my heart out.
The night looked like a winner with the full moon as bright as ever in fact most of the time no lights were needed. It is strange to see shadows cast on the beach at 2:00AM when light is scarce and the only true light is from a passing buggy or the headlamps of fellow fishermen.
I stayed till about 2:00AM as I started to get some hits but again as the night went could not hook up at all. I have to believe it had something to do with hook size. But with all the people we had on the beach it would of been hard to start experimenting at that point.
If anyone wants to meet out there just give me a PM and lets set up a trip and see if different things work any better.
It is plug and metal season on the beach and I will be going back to that instead of bait. I seem to do a lot better.
But I have to say we had a blast out there and that made up for any lost fish this time. Thanks everyone for a great time... t^
Happy Catching

-
great time had by my entire crew. Thanks again..
-
Yeah it was a great night. Glad everyone made it and had a blast. If there is intrest we could probally get one more night in. Its nice to see so many people get togeather,with no problems. Great people great times on a great night. I'm getting ready to head back out, see what happens.
-
group or no group, My group of 4 is probably going back next Saturday night.
-
Were ready for another. what 3 weeks? Weekend after Labor Day?.. OR the Saturday after the tournament?
-
Keep me posted on the next outting! This time I know what to bring and what not. TT^
-
I'll be out there tomorrow morning. Looking at 4:00 or earlier to catch the pre dawn action down by the inlet.
-
just got home from ibsp 5 searobins clammin, well sleepin in a chair. i love it out there. its so nice to drive out there and just chill out. i had my ice tea, sat my fat ash down in a chair and enjoyed the evening. by the third sea robin i just let him pull my line around for about half a hour before i got up and reeled him in. ;D it is a great place.
-
Nice job on the outing!!
Sorry I had to miss it again.
TT^
-
Thanx Ken for organizing this outing.Though I got there late is was neat to see so many people milling about,, sorta surreal w/ that bright beacon in the sky, we could've had a volley ball game!
Hachiko was thrilled to meet Sassafras, made his night.
-
vollyball would have been great.rick give me a buzz when you get a chance,about this weekend.
-
Hey everyone...I am so sorry to have once again missed the trip, although it sounded alot like the first one only with a brighter moon and more people. I was ready to go when life took over and changed my plans for me. 5hrug I will try again next time you guys go. Glad to hear that you all had fun anyway!

took a buddy of mine out last night just kinda playin around. i had made up a bunch of chunked baits in the hope of scoring some blues,and we did good. not any big chompers but some nice fishing. i learned another fishing lesson though. dont fish for sharks with someone who is scared to death of them. i had some big baits to put out as well,seeing if there were still any sharks out there and the answer is yes they are. i had a big one on,about a half hour or so to get him in the wash. 6 footer easily, i'm being modest. my chicken buddy swears it was a 12 footer. not right now fritzy,its not jaws but it is big. i asked him to grab it for me,you would have thought i asked him to jump in front of a moving mac truck. we argued back and forth for a few before he agreed to take the rod. we made the switch i told him dont give he any slack and headed in after him. whats he do.... slacks the line,and he breaks off. so here i am in the water trying to grab this fish,yelling at my buddy the whole time, i couldn't do it.he was beat but not beaten. i think it was a sand tiger,crazy wild teeth. dont fish for sharks if your buddy is scared....i finally calmed down but this was my monster catch man.so again here i am close but no cigar. my new rod is sweet though, got a 10 foot tica after my rod got broken our last party night. mabey this weekend i will try again.

Been there done that, it gets dark they wont go near the water,wont hold the rod affraid it will pull them in,can't hold the light in the right place.Know exactly how your feeling ;D
-
Wish I was there to see that. Good luck this weekend. t^
-
Nice catch from the beach!! Most action I have heard all week!! At least you got to see how big it was. Those sand tigers can be pretty aggressive.
rofla hhppy I am picturing in my mind, you and your buddy fishing and what he is doing that isn't helping you...worse than fishing with kids. At least they are still learning and not scared of the fish!!
TT^
-
It sounds like a great time until the party got started. I feel your pain.
My daughter was at the park today with her boy friend and his mother and said that there was bait all over the place with plenty of grass and jellies. They had to get out and shower them off a couple of times. Little suckers.
I can't wait to get out there again. I have been so busy this week I have not been able to even put the rack back on the front of the Expedition.
Happy Catching
