My little brother took his new home built contraption on a test run last night.He said it worked good.He bought a $40 crossbow from internet.Twisted the string to gain more poundage.Added a bottle reel.We are hoping to try it out on stingray next weekend.

Yesterday was my oldest daughter's sixteenth birthday.We spent time slinging arrows.I kayaked some of this stingray out for shark bait about 3 am this morning.I have hooked into 2 large sharks that have destroyed my reels.

I kayak baits about 200 yards from shore and drop it.Then go back to pier.I was using 8 foot of steel leader but the sharks was longer than that.Their skin is like sandpaper and will cut your fishing line.I have rigged 12 foot of leader for tonight so if they don't destroy my reel gears I might have a chance tonight.Hopefully I will have a picture of a monster by in the morning.

Tight lines gentlemen
