Not much of a shark fisherman here, but I have been to the beach twice this week and have caught literally a hundred or more ladyfish and hardtails/jacks. If you're trying to catch a shark I recommend trying to use one of these two fish for bait. I had one of my ladyfish swallow my lure and after freeing the hooks he died. I threw him out and called it a day. Not 5 minutes had gone by and a 5-6 foot shark came cruising in about 3 feet of water I assume following the blood trail in. I was glad I had gotten out of the water to say the least. My guess would be that the sharks 'stage' in fairly deep water and keep an eye out on the massive schools of ladyfish and hardtails. As soon as one's in trouble they come in and have lunch.



Again, not much of a shark fisherman, but maybe that info will help.





P.S. I'm talking about PC beach so I'm not sure about Destin. Good luck!

I got into some blues off the surf in Destin and was releasing them. One had a bloody gill when I let him go, and within a few minutes a Blacktip was cruising the surf. I kept casting at him but he didn't want my spoon.
