I went with some friends last night fishing in the bay and decided to shark fish a little. We only caught one small blacktip but did have a MONSTER RUN!! This sucker tail whipped a 4' leader and the fray went 2 more feet from the break off point. This shark was no 4 footer. It ran and didn't slow down till the line popped.........BEAST!!

The reason the leader was so short was b/c we were casting from shore not paddling them out.

Pensacola bay is the place to be close to low tide. take that 3footer and put it on the hook. find a pier close to deep water with low boat trafic. Big bulls really big!Any big bait will work. Bobos jacks whatever. Ft pickens is good but they run everyone out at 8;00 and 10:00 with a nite owl pass. that is not right, we fish at night and what harm does it do for a fisherman to fish at night. I tryed it 3 weeks ago and left upset. I had just got 3 baits out and here comes the park nazzi saying you gota go. next time i go i will have the laws on paper in hand that say i can fish. complaints can change alot of things like this. pickens should be more fisherman friendly! Good luck in the bay.

Hey Ernie, you and your buddy are welcome to ride with me. I have a nite owl, and all the gear. I need a top notch crew.

This is what I use. My Fin-Nor 6500 with 15lb line and a 9ft surf rod. I use 2ft of 90lb sevenstrand tied to a 100lb swivel, with 8ft of 60lb or 80lb mono attached to it for spinner sharks and I attach that to my main line with an albright knot. Never been broke off from that the only time I have been broke off was when my main line broke. My leader has never broke.
