Shark fishing?
 

Tossing the idea around thinking I may want to give shark fishing a shot. Any of ya'll ever done it? Would it be worth my time?

It's only fun when ya do it from a yak!!!!

Never fished for them but have caught a few and its fun catching them,especially wade fishing.Thats when I caught mine.

They hit the shallow rigs during the hot summer.

a lot of people have told me they catch a lot from the beach. Is it possible to drift or anchor 300 - 500 yards off the beach and fish for them?

yes it is! we have anchored 200 yds off ship island in mississippi and caught sharks and jacks till the reels were shot.

ray is right...i love catching those sharks find you a well lit up rig and you will be able to see them coming in... chum for them if you really wanna get them in a frenzy.

Gotta hit K Mart for a combo RR or borrow one from someone at the weirs.

lol, i have only shark fished in the keys and offshore

How many rods can a kayak hold?
One of them yakers has like 20 rods on his bote.

that one holds alot!!! pretty sure they were just using the yak to run the lines out past the bars.

dudes on that site are nuts... i saw a video a few months back where they were catching yellow fin out of yaks!

that looks like a blast of a weekend

I used to go out to seabrook in lake pontchartrain and chum up bull sharks at night in the kayak. Talk about a sleigh ride when you get hooked up. I use 80lb braid on roller rods and 375lb twisted steel leader. Chunk out a mullet gut punched and hold on because you are going for a ride.

So when is the best time to target sharks?

ive had alot of success at night at well lit rigs

Sharks are the hardheads of the ocean. I hate em!

This time of year is great for sharks. Find jetties or shallow rigs and use a cut mullet and hold on. I know in GI at the close rigs you can catch all you and until your arms fall off.

Guess I will watch the weather and head to the jetties this next week and see what I can do.
