The Wrightsville Beach shark fishing has been excellent this year. We have caught over 100 sharks easily this past week sight casting, trolling and on fly. Now is the time to take a shot at them on a fly rod! We went 3 for 3 on the fly rod the first day and 6 for 11 (strikes) on the fly the second day with numerous looks at the fly. I busted my 12 wt (shut it in the door) or we would have had even more. I will have the 12 wt back in a day or two from G Loomis. I also have another 12 wt in the works with a Tibor Pacific reel and two 10 wts with Tibor Riptide reels that will be ready for action very soon. We are taking the 8 wts tomorrow and hoping a monster does not come along! Can’t wait!
Enjoy the pics, these are just the fly fishing pics. The 100 + lb monsters will be back next week (already have the photos!)
Fighting belt on from the stand up gear, not for the fly rod!!
This guy could flat out fish!!
This is their second year in a row fishing with me. Hope to see you guys again next year!
