Heard numerous reports of a 10ft Hammerhead out here... Anyone else. I haven't seen it with my own eyes, thatd be awesome though... Got a tour at 0900! Maybe Ill get lucky.

Wow. That would be a hell of a catch! I wonder if the Kayakers were the tourists, or one of us.

Kayakers best friend, besides hand pump.. Of course there is wide open yellow tail on my birthday, its like that every year!!!

I saw hammerheads on every late summer LJ trip last year. Haven't seen HHs this year tho. I had no trouble with them at all. No baits or fish taken, no bumping or following. Just a couple drive bys and off they went. Looking over n seeing a HH is a big time shock. Beautiful animals for sure tho. Mike

Its not so hard when you have 50# of yellowfin and bluefin in the cooler! Oh what a difference a year makes...

I saw 3 of them on a 3/4 day boat two weeks ago.

maquinapescado · 09-04-2016, 02:55 PM

I saw like 20 of them on the Osborn bank yesterday. Should I call it in?

Only if they followed you all the way back into the cove.^
