Here’s a shelling photo from a sand bar off North Captiva because … fishing was horrible today!

As good as the tarpon fishing was yesterday, it was equally bad today.  It was the worst.

Bull & Hammerhead Sharks Fight Over Tarpon, May 10, Sanibel, Captiva & Fort Myers Fishing Charter & Sanibel, Captiva Fort Myers Fishing Report.

We got this tarpon close to the boat yesterday, but we didn’t see the bull & hammerhead sharks coming.

As you can see in the video, as the tarpon gets close to the boat, one shark comes in and attacks it and then a number (one bull and one hammerhead?) fight over the remains of the tarpon.

It is frustrating, but it happens.
