Fishing Tips, Tricks and Teachings

A Beginner’s Guide to Shark Fishing

Image of person, outdoors, accessories, sunglasses, water, animal, sea life, fish, shark, nature, sea, people

“We’re gonna need a bigger boat,” a favorite line from one of our favorite movies. When it comes to talking about shark fishing, it’s hard not to mention Steven Spielberg’s hit, Jaws.

But did you know that you don’t even need a boat to fish for sharks?! There are several species that come close to the shore and surf fishing is an option. Of course, for big monster sharks you need to head out farther.

We’ll look at where to fish for sharks, as well as how to get them on the hook in this Beginner’s Guide to Shark Fishing. Or you can hire a professional charter captain who has ample experience fighting these sharp-toothed trophies, they’ll be happy to show you the ropes.

Where to Fish for Sharks

Believe it or not, sharks are found throughout the ocean, from shallow water flats to the deep blue sea. Sharks actually come really close to the shore, so fishing from the surf is very much an option. This technique doesn’t use a boat, just grab your pole and gear and head to the water’s edge. Cast your bait deep into the surf (about 250 yards out) and get ready for a fight! If you’re surf fishing for sharks in Florida, keep in mind there are new regulations as of 2019.

Blacktip and bull sharks are known for swimming in the shallow waters of the Florida Keys. To the north of this chain of islands is an area known as the backcountry. There are many inlets and channels that act as a nursery for adolescent gamefish such as grouper, barracuda, jack crevalle, and tarpon, making easy prey for mature shark species. Shallow water shark fishing is different from surf fishing in that you can chum the waters much more efficiently with bloody bait such as mullet. Though Blacktip sharks are one of the smaller shark species (rarely growing larger than 6ft), they are notorious for their rod bending strength if caught on light or medium tackle, making hard runs and occasionally breaching the water’s surface. Make sure your set up includes at least 3-4ft of wire leader, their teeth will shred traditional braided or monofilament fishing line.

To catch the true monsters of the deep, sharks ranging from 8ft to 13ft+ in length, you need to head offshore. There are a variety of species found in deeper waters, including mako, thresher, hammerhead, tiger, lemon, and many, many more. The shark species anglers target have a hypersensitive sense of smell, being able to smell a single drop of blood from a mile away. The popular fishing adage “If you chum, they will come” couldn’t be more true to draw these apex predators to your boat. Bonito are popular bait to use for chum, they are very bloody game fish that can easily be caught while trolling to your shark fishing grounds. From Florida to Maine, fishing the Atlantic Ocean for sharks is quite the adventure. If you happen to be near South Florida, book a charter with Mark the Shark, a premiere shark hunter docked in the heart of Miami! He consistently catches 10ft+ hammerheads, tiger sharks, thresher sharks, and more.

Pacific Coast shark fishing is also available, though not as popular as it is on the East Coast. The number of sharks in the Atlantic simply outnumber their West Coast cousins. The shark capital of the world just happens to be located in Florida; New Smyrna Beach to be exact. This is the place to start if your group is looking for their best chances to land this incredible creature.

How to Fish for Sharks

We’ve mentioned chumming a few times already, this is a technique used to attract nearby sharks to your waters. Simply stated, chumming is when anglers dump chopped-up fish pieces, fish blood, and/or fish oil into the water. Any shark within a mile won’t be able to resist the chance of an easy meal, driven by their curiosity and gluttonous appetite. Add cut, dead, or live bait to your line and cast into the chummed waters. It won’t take long for your rod to double over…

If you’re fishing from the shore, chumming is not an option due to the current and beach goers. This makes your bait selection all the more important. Sizable baitfish is the key, and the fresher, the better! Whiting, bluefish, and mullet are usual go-to baits when fishing from the shore. Though some species of sharks are able to be taken for table fare, we strongly encourage you to practice catch and release. Once your shark is successfully landed, take a quick picture, cautiously dehook your catch, and release the shark back into the open waters as quickly as possible to ensure its best chances of survival.

When shark fishing offshore, it’s usually up to the captain whether you release or harvest your shark. Species such as Sandbar shark are protected, and are quickly released after being mistakenly caught. Your captain will gauge the health of other landed shark species, such as hammerhead and mako shark, to determine if it will be harvested or safely released. Depending on the duration of the fight and depth it was hooked up at, the shark you caught may be near death from exhaustion by the time you pull it to the stern of the boat. If the shark is released while on death’s doorstep, other shark species will make short work of their defenseless prey…

Your Next Shark Fishing Trip

Some general tips for any shark angler: always take someone with you when you’re fishing for sharks. They are extremely dangerous animals and you’ll want someone with you to help in case there are any complications. Also keep in mind that fishing for sharks is best during dawn or dusk, especially if you’re fishing those inshore or nearshore waters. And, when possible, practice catch-and-release to help sustain the population.

Shark fishing truly is the adventure of a lifetime. Sharks are exceptional fighters, and landing one can create legendary status. Whether you’re fishing from the shore or out in the deep, catching sharks is like nothing you’ve ever experienced. And you just might need that bigger boat to land this monster!

Fishing Tips, Tricks and Teachings

Buyer’s Guide: Chatterbaits and Spinnerbaits for Every Situation

In today’s Buyer’s Guide we’re going in-depth with chatterbaits, spinnerbaits, and a variety of trailers. We’re looking at the best baits at each price, the best trailers to create the profile and action you need, and the knowledge to put it all together. Chatterbaits and Spinnerbaits are both giant bait categories worthy of individual videos but today we’re rolling them into one knowledge-packed buyer’s guide. When it comes to bladed jigs the most important factor is how quickly the bait begins to vibrate. Often the difference between success and failure on a cast takes place in the first moments when your bait lands beside its intended target. If the bait is working instantly, you’ll catch the fish, if not, its out of the strike zone before the blade even begins to wobble. Of course, weight, color, and profile are all important, but none of that matters if the bait isn’t functioning when it passes in front of the fish. With spinnerbaits its all about drawing a reaction strike. While large blades can draw vicious strikes in murky water, many anglers overlook the advantages of smaller, more subtle blades. In today’s video we explore the best of both worlds to help you dial in you spinnerbait selection. Below you’ll find links to all of the baits, trailers, and gear, discussed in the video. We’ve included favorite weights and colors where applicable. All of the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Fishing Tips, Tricks and Teachings

Buyer’s Guide: Best Dropshot Baits and Gear!

Today’s Buyer’s Guide is all about dropshotting! The dropshot is a reliable way to catch bass throughout the year. Paired with the right baits, it can produce big bass as well. We’ve selected a handful of baits for this video that work exceptionally well at different times of year and in different conditions. Come along as we dial in the dropshot. This rig can excel when the water is cold. When nothing else is working the dropshot can keep getting bit. The key is knowing which baits will give you the action you’re looking for, and how to work them. A lot of anglers over-work the dropshot, meaning they shake it way too much. In the cold months in particular, the dropshot is all about a soft touch and subtle presentation. As the water warms in Spring, you can mix up the presentation with more movement and different baits to continue seeing success. Below you’ll find links to our favorite baits in the order they were discussed in the video. We’ve also included color recommendations, favorite hooks and weights for properly rigging the baits, and some of our favorite rods and reels for fishing this technique. All of the links go directly to TackleWarehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Buyer’s Guide: Craw and Creature Baits for Year Round Success!

Creature baits are not all created equal! In today’s buyer’s guide we’re simplifying creatures and craws by narrowing it down to 8 baits for different situations. Each of these baits will help you catch more fish throughout the year! Whether you’re punching mats, flipping, throwing a wobble head, or working a jig, there is a creature here that you can rely on. These 8 baits all have very unique applications. One is best on wobble head, another is a bait we exclusively punch with, and yet another is the bait we turn to early in the year. There are a lot of great baits on the market but when you discover a key situation for a specific bait, you’ve got a bait that will put fish in the boat over and over again. If you want to shorten your learning curve, pay close attention to why and when we’re throwing each of these baits, then give them a try on your lakes. We’ve included links to all 8 of these baits below. We’ve also included our favorite colors for each, the gear we use to rig them, and a couple great "All-Around" creature bait rods at different price points.
