November exploratory trip for Porbeagle shark. With poor weather hampering our intended plans, we resorted to sheltering in relatively shallow water at anchor. Much chumming, with mature and fresh bait - produced eight spurdog all between 5 and 6 lb's. Mackeral were numerous, with some very big. We also hit a great spot with some extremely good pollock... no Porbeagles this time, but we'll keep trying.
