I am visiting some friends in the panhandle. As everyone knows, it has been cold here, but I want to try and catch some sharks - Nothing big, but just something edible. Does anyone on here think I can do this with a medium action spinning reel + medium action ugly stick, maybe using a 10′ heavy stainless leader and 10# mono - or is that out of the question?

I am thinking about shark fishing in the Red Sea. This will be my 1st time shark fishing so i need some advice. Im looking at a Shakespeare IN2 50lb class rod and some Vector monofilament. Any advice?
P.S. My budget is under £100

Thanks for all of the info! I am going to be going shark fishing in a couple of days. I don’t have any means of taking my bait out 300 to 400 hundred yards off shore, so I was wondering if anyone knew of any way to get it out to close that far or if it it you have to put it out that far. I will also be fishing off of a pier any advise? Thanks!

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
