I got back Thursday night after 8 days in South Carolina with my wife. I took the kayak again and launched 2 mornings searching for sharks. There really was not much searching to do.....this is the shool of bunker that was getting attacked as I looked out my 23rd floor hotel room.

All I had to do was snag a bunker, switch over to a single hook and hold on. I landed about 6-7 sharks in the 5-6 foot range the first morning.

The second day was not as easy, but still about 5 sharks landed in the 3-5 foot range. I did have one huge shark on while trolling, which pulled me backwards for a short time before breaking through the 75lb. rated wire leader.
Here are a couple pictures from the first morning.
Here is also a video that I just got a chance to upload from Christmas Island.

Bunker have a few different names in parts of the country, Moss bunker, mehaden are just a couple. No, you can't eat them, but I believe they are one of, if not the most sought after bait fish. In the North east, there are boats out everyday netting them by the tons. It's a very oily fish that is used for many things.
