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 Hey Patrick - have any luck in Cape San Blas this summer shark fishing?
