Christian Vinciquerra UR, Shark fishing wasn't so bad

Last class we met at Ponce Inlet again. I was beyond excited for this one because we were shark fishing. Shark fishing is something I do often but i usually do it from boats not shoreline, so I was a little out of my element. Unfortunately we had to improvise and move locations because of foul weather. There was a reed flag on the lifeguard tower and winds were howling. 
Line in the water
Jetty was all whitecaps
We tried to walk onto the jetty and people were losing their hats. We moved to site 2 from the seining lab in hopes to catch some sharks. Unfortunately we did not catch anything. We were all a tad disappointed, however, it wasn't the worst class I've attended. We literally were fishing for a class and it was relaxing. Just siting in a beach chair on the beach and with a line in the water. I chose to sit on the end of the our class so I didn't talk to Chad or Dr. Woodall too much. I did have the chance to connect with some of the other students and talk. So due to no sharks being caught there is no data I can report this week.
