saltfisher1 (6/20/2009)If youre just wanting to catch a shark(4 - 6 ft)but not a monster(8-10) use big mullet or bluefish/mackeral...you can buy the mullet frozen at most places....7/0 to 10/0 will do on hook size....just make sure the hook is poking out of the bait so you can set the hook.
the best times that i have had were right at dusk dark to a few hours after. make sure your leader ( steel ) is longer than the fish you plan on catching. if you hook a spinner, he will jump and cut you off. wade out as far as you can and chunk your bait as far as you can. this should catch you some kind of shark. make sure you know the limits and such if you plan on keeping some. dont want to see anyone get a ticket. most sharks you should catch though, you will be legal to keep.
