Reel Adventure 8-4-08 Sharks on Fly with VIDEO

August 5th, 2008 by Capt. Matt Wirt

The Carolina beach fishing and Wrightsville beach fishing the past two weeks has been awesome to say the least. We have caught and released over 100 sharks and well over 25 fly fishing. All but 1 have been tagged and released. I have tagged over 200 sharks in the past 2 years since entering the tagging program and I have never re caught one of my tagged sharks or any tagged shark for that matter. But we did have an interesting encounter last week. 4 days prior to this encounter I lost a shark on fly. It took my fly, leader and about a inch or so of my fly line. I think my line was near another piece of bait and another shark got the bait and bit my fly line by accident. Now here we are 4 days later hooked up to a shark on spin tackle and up comes the shark with my exact fly hung in his back, leader and all! Very cool! I removed the fly from the shark and it is now part of my fishing collection of neat stuff that is on the wall…much to my wife’s dismay! The shark fishing had a lull for about 3 days last week but it was in full swing today. Give us a call to get hooked up! We have the following August days available, the 16th, 21st, 22nd, 23rd, 25th, and many days in September.

Instead of putting up pictures I did a 2 week video recap on all the shark photos wich includes quite a few pictures from todays trip! There was just way too many pictures!

Reel Adventure 7-25-08 Report. Sharks of Fly!

July 25th, 2008 by Capt. Matt Wirt

The Carolina Beach and Wrightsville Beach shark fishing has been excellent this year. We have caught over 100 sharks easily this past week sight casting, trolling and on fly. Now is the time to take a shot at them on a fly rod! We went 3 for 3 on the fly rod the first day and 6 for 11 (strikes) on the fly the second day with numerous looks at the fly. I busted my 12 wt (shut it in the door) or we would have had even more. I will have the 12 wt back in a day or two from G Loomis. I also have another 12 wt in the works with a Tibor Pacific reel and two 10 wts with Tibor Riptide reels that will be ready for action very soon. We are taking the 8 wts tomorrow and hoping a monster does not come along! Can’t wait!
