It was nice day to be fishing, winds out of the south-southeast at about 15 mph. Tide was incoming after about 8:45am. We first tried anchoring but but had no luck at all so we pulled the anchor and drifted toward Cedar Key for about 4 hours. Once we got out to about 9' to 12' of water we started picking up some action. We first caught a few cat fish mostly sail cats, then picked up a few small Reds on the flat lines baited with live shrimp. A lone trout also wanted some shrimp so we obliged him. Before long the sharks found our chum and we landed a couple Bonnet heads. They can really put up a fight for short time considering their size. Just before we were going to pack it up a call it day I hooked into something on my medium spinning rod and as soon as I set the hook and before I knew what was happening (no more than 5-10 seconds) he took every bit of the 80lb test braid and keep going. I was dumb founded. He went in a perfectly straight line with at least 100 plus yards of line. I sure would have liked to at least seen what it was. Even though we didn't come in with any keepers it was a fun day of fishing.
