| I guess I should first ask where is the best place to try to shark fish in Pensacola? Also what pound test should I use? I know to use a wire leader but how long should it be? Best bait? And how far out does it need to be? All comments will be helpful. Thanks.

| I use 10ft 480lb test leaders with 10/0 hooks. We went 2 nights ago east of Portifino fishing with butterflied bonitas in panty hose. We used 2 9/0 reels (1 with 60lb and 1 with 80lb test) and 1 10/0 spooled with 100lb test. Got the baits out by kayak. Managed to catch about a 3 1/2 ft blacktip and had 2 other bites from small sharks.

I am not a expert but we used 30 lb mono with a 6' steel leader (i think it was 100lb test) with a 9 hook. It was all we had and it worked weds night. We cut a bonita in half and cut some slits into it to give off some good smells! good luck!

Hopefully we come back with a nice report. The surf must be loaded with little ones....Remember..Bullsharks eat other sharks...Not sure if its legal to use a blacktip for bait though.

| 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.

| 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.
