5/25 thru 5/26/03
Meacom's Pier
High Island, Texas


Anthony's biggest SHARK!
The Big Uglies are also in.
 

Big Ugly #1 40" long
I go to Meacom's to see if we can catch some redfish and look what Anthony catches. It took a whole day of nothingness before we had this run. We were actually thinking about heading somewhere else. After this fish we decided to stay a little longer.
 

Big Ugly #2 38" long
After another few hours of just staring at our bait I get this run. Another big Ugly. I could not believe that we are still catching these so late in the year.
 

Shark #1 37" long Atlantic Sharpnose
We started to think things were about to pick up after we caught this little shark. NOT! The bait on our hooks looked to be in better shape than what we threw out several hours before.
 

Shark #2 50" long Spinner
Later in the day we had decided to go somewhere else. As I was reeling in one pole I noticed something splashing on top of the water about 50 yards out. I looked over and told Anthony to grab the pole before the shark pulled it in. This is the biggest shark he has ever caught. Nice catch Anthony!

Now for the REPORT!

The weather was sunny, hot and beautiful. Luckily we had some wind or we would have burned out there. The water was very muddy and we weren't sure the fish were there. I was told that the water on sunday was green all the way to the beach. A day makes a whole lot of difference. Redfish, sharks and jacks were caught off the beach buy several friends of mine just the day before. We had a real hard time catching bait. It was really slow. Not having fresh bait was a let down. We managed to buy the freshest bait I could find. So many people on the pier that they ran out of ice and I had to go find ice before I stated fishing. We landed 2 over size black drum that were 40" and" 38" long and two sharks and and Anthony broke off on the only mono leader we were using. It looked to be a good shark as it rolled on top of the water. We started using steel leaders as soon as we got there. We did not see to much action the whole time we were on the pier. We did see another fisherman bring in another Big Ugly on a small rod. Maybe the sharks are scaring the redfish and other fish away.

Team C.B.F's scores again!

I thank God for all my blessings and the opportunity to go fishing!

FISH HARD or STAY HOME with your MOMMY!
