    Shark Fishing Cigar 6/14

    Left the dock at 600am, cleared LEI, heading to the vicinity of the Cigar. We knew the water would drop off temp wise before the wreck, then spike again south near the cigar. Sure enough,...63.0 at the wreck. Hit the northern tip of the Cigar and had 65. Definitely fishy water. Lines in about 8:30. Drift was perfect down he edge of the cigar.

    Had a mystery run off on a whole mack deep. Thought it was a bluefish. Reeled it in, then got hammered again. Think it may have been a blue shark. 945 the shallow rod with ham and eggs went off. Threw the drag on and the circle on 530# mono did its job. Jammed right in the corner. This was no blue shark.

    About 15-20 min. later a 12'+ Thresher goes airborne. Fought him around the boat for another hour of 50# tackle. Fish put a hurting on two anglers. Finally i grabbed the leader and my brother sunk the flyer.

    By 11:00 we had a 75" (body length) estimated 250+ thresher on the deck. Cleaned up and heading for home.

    Nice going, guys. Pretty fish. Tough, ain't they? And wonderful eating, too. I like 'em better than swordfish.

    Sounds like the definition of one great big gamefish to me!

    Thanks guys. He put up a hell of a fight. Gotta give credit to the little bro (in the black) on fighting the fish and his first gaff shot, Chris (grey) angler as well, and my father for running the boat. I just leadered.

    Just because I don't post reports doesn't mean I don't fish. Just certain things I would like you to know, and others not so much.

    That and this year i am making it a point to take pics lol
