FISHING AND OUTDOORS BOARD

[Drugdoctor]

I used to do a bit of shark fishing off of Dauphin Island, Al. We would catch fresh blue fish and then just cut one in half and throw the whole bloody mess in the current with just a hook in it... The tide would carry the scent of the blood for 4 miles I am told. We always had our bait taken, and would sometimes catch bulls that were about 6 feet long. Since we were fishing near the Sand Island Lighthouse near the mouth of Mobile Bay, less than 4 miles offshore, it is always frightening to know that there are that many sharks lurking just offshore... always... I bet if most of the beach swimmers knew what we know about sharks, there would be a lot of resorts closing down, lol...
