Green's Ledge
Message:
Headed out for my maiden voyage on my little Boston Whaler today, and made for Green's Ledge. Got out at about 10am, and set out some chum and bunker chunks. The second my first chunk hit the bottom somethin grabbed it, turned out to be a little shark.

I have no depth finder, so I was relying on an app for my Droid phone that gives you your GPS location on a NOAA chart so I could have some idea of what the bottom looked like. Actually worked pretty well, and after a couple more little sharks and plenty of sea robins, I moved a little further out.
No hits, no nothin, and then it started pouring. After about 30 minutes in the rain I decided to head back in. Pulled my last line up and got a pretty decent sized shark that put up a hell of a fight.

No stripers, no fluke, no blues, but I gotta tell ya that I was just psyched to have somethin on the end of my line. Good day.

Congrats on the maiden voyage.
Glad it was a success and something took your baits. A bend in the rod is always a good thing!

Congratulations!!!
You didn't get skunked is great news for the first trip out. Just get to know the area(s) better and you'll be catching keepers of all kind!
Keep this in mind..A quote from "The Perfect Storm"
Captain Billy Tyne: I always find the fish, always! And I will this time.
Now that's what I do. Because finding them and catching them are 2 different things.
Good Luck and don't be afraid to ask questions.
