Shark ball
 
Fished five miles offshore in Beauford N.C. area yesterday----pods of false
albacore were everywhere but I was unable to find a fly they would accept
so changed to spinning tackle and a mirrowlure and caught until my wrist
was tired of cranking.

We saw birds really pounding one bait ball so motored over and found albies
working a small dense ball and four or five big [ 7 to 10 ft] sharks
circling the albercore.
Carnage everywhere but we were able to sit almost on top of the action and
watch---quite a happening.
Later caught a big king and one shark so called it a day after a long ten
hours.
Closer inshore we saw several guides busy chasing small pods around trying
to help their flyfishermen into fish but only saw one hookup.

Just send me to the mountains with a four weight.
Joseph
