Black tip shark hooked in the bay

[Tattooist Dave]

Two nights ago i hooked into a 4ft. black tip shark in the hogtown bayou near lion park. i fish the sallows and canals by my house over there. ive heard reports of two others that hang around the area. thought i just put the warning out. on lighter note the speckle trout and flounder are hitting like crazy-Dave

Thanks for the report. What are the fish hitting? hopefully not each other.

I have seen many many sharks over there in that area most of the ones I have seen have been bull sharks. ranging from 4'-6' plenty big enough to hurt you but everyone needs to remember that sharks are not after humans as a food source unless the shark is extrememly hungry most attacks are a case of mistaken identity :funn:

where exactly is Lion Park? I am very familiar with Hogtown Bayou, but only the land.

Is this unusual for the sharks to be in the bayous' and the bay? We caught two black fin sharks at the mouth of the intercoastal and the bay this summer.
