Hi guys,
that was pretty good adventure! Weather was unusual
No wind, no clouds, sun – water temp 14 – 15 C. Because of lack of wind and therefore no good conditions for drift, we decided to go reef fishing instead of sharking.
We were fishing in several marks, some of them quiet some of them generous. Suddenly, while I was playing a fish, a blue shark struck a pollack that was on the end of my line. Shark was biting and swimming around ripped in half pollack still attached to my jig. jw was shouting, “keep him there, keep him there Tommy” while setting up his shark rod. Finally shark ripped of my line and swam away with remains of pollack along with my lure. jw thrown in to the water some of ruby-dubby prepared day earlier to keep shark interested. It was high time for me to set up my rod as well. By that time jw was already setup and his shark trace landed in water seconds after. A few minutes later my trace was ready as well. I thrown mackerel in to the water and was just about to tie a balloon to line when I felt that shark took my bait and was running with it. I dropped the balloon and kept to my rod instead. After some exciting moments and three crush dives, we managed to tail and land a shark.
I’m sure jw will paste here more pictures especially ones where shark was making circles around ripped pollack on my line.
Cracking day, and nice result- did you get back your lure 
. Unfortunatell shark must spat it out.
