Sorry about not completing my message. My boy hit the enter button for me. Go to the aforementioned website and familiarize yourself with the handbook. There is some great stuff in there. Read some of the reports. I recently posted one out of Matagorda. My screenname is the same on TSF.

Hi there,
I have been surf fishing in Vero for 5 years now and catch a ton of blues and lady’s. Last year these high schoolers were using my catches and hooking them in the tail and letting them swim out on there own. They caught numerous sharks this way while I was there. I’m hooked! I will be going down there again this year and want to give it a try. I have a good set up, but I noticed no one is talking about this way of fishing for sharks with live bait. Any comments I would love to hear.
Thanks

Hey Patrick - have any luck in Cape San Blas this summer shark fishing? My wife and I go there each year, and this september I got into shark fishing with some friends we met. Gonna be setting myself up this year with a Penn 950SSm, 7′ ugly stick, 100lb braided line (450 yds), 10/0 sea demon hooks, and about 8′ of 480# 49 strand cable leader. No toppers, just braid to steel leader via crimped connections to big swivels. I’ll make up a few shark rigs to have handy as replacements, just in case. All in, I calculate about a $350 investment for something that should last me a long time, since I won’t be shark fishing every weekend, but more like maybe a couple weeks out of the year. Be interested in any of your all’s comments.

Tight lines!

John

Jake your right i bet you fred tears up when they run the save the polar bears commercial. You know the whale show where they talk about the whales being harpooned i bet you he bawls through the whole thing.
