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.

Maybe this video from Christmas Island will work???



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.
