Stable weather has finally settled in, and it is not too soon for most anglers who have suffered through a long cold winter that lasted much later than normal and the strong winds of early May.
Lots of fishermen were on the water Saturday and by the afternoon, only a couple of reports were in.
Jerry Henderson and his two sons Mark and Mike were on a shark hunt Saturday and chose the end of the North Jetty, Gulf side, to do their fishing.
Using cut shad, mullet and squid, the anglers from Santa Fe landed eight sharks to longer than 6 feet long.
All were safely released and Henderson was not sure what particular specie of shark they were.
Night fishing turned on around 4 a.m. Saturday and that is when Mario Selman and Dorothy Sparks landed close to their limits.
The lights on the dock of the home they are renting in Tiki Island were on all night, and the couple stopped fishing around midnight as nothing was biting.
After almost four hours of sleep they looked out their bedroom window and saw a lot of activity under the lights and quickly returned to the dock.
Most of their live shrimp had died; however, the few remaining each accounted for a speck.
Small soft plastics in white and chartreuse were responsible for landing the remainder of the 17 specks.
A lone undersized red was the only other fish landed. The bite continued until after daybreak.
Patrick Lemire reported football field-size weed patches offshore Friday as the party boat Capt. John fished the old Buccaneer Field area.
In addition to full limits of red snapper for the 49 anglers aboard, two ling and three sharpnose sharks were landed.
