Anchor fishing, landed a
couple small Mud Marlins (Bat Rays) and a few Smooth Hound sharks. Was fun.
Another boat at the ramp lost a 7' 7 gill shark at the boat. They are a
good tasting shark.

We're having quite the debate back East about sharking.

There's some alarming evidence that the normal numbers of dogfish are
decreasing along with some other species we see off the islands this
time of year. Apparently doggies are popular in Britian for use in
fish 'n chips - who knew.

There's been some suggestion that the makos, blues and sand sharks
normally visiting the environs by this time just aren't there and it's
been getting worse every year since about 2004.
