That's the plan, people.

Of course, unless I get distracted by something else, then tomorrow may be shark night.
After being given expert advice by wrighttackle , I feel confident that we'll be dragging some sort of large beastie out of the water.

We've got whole ladyfish for bait, and we'll be running them out to the edge of the sandbar in a raft.

Results posted here as they come in.

I'm on Pensacola Beach, about 1.5 miles east of the hotels.

I went ahead today around 5PM, after catching a fresh ladyfish, and took my rig out via raft to the sandbar, and casted it off the deep side. Opened the bail, and brought the rod back and waited.

Practically the whole time, I could feel tapping on the line, and when I finally brought it in about 800PM, there was nothing left. NOTHING!

So-

1) Did I start too early?
2) Did I not get my bait out deep enough?
3) Did some trash fish completely destroy my ladyfish?
4) Or did some giant, incredible fish steal my bait?

I await your answers, and I guess I'll try again tomorrow night.

Most likely #3

Ladyfish is not a very resilient bait. It usually has to be checked and re-baited quite often.

yeah i would go with #3, or crabs.  Like he was saying ladyfish does need to be checked pretty often.  What size hook are you using??

Well, the same story again tonight, but this time I checked it after 30 minutes, and it was gone...

I'm using a shark rig from Gulf Breeze tackle, and it's a huge hook. No idea what number it is though.

Any other ideas on bait I can use?
