Musky Season's over so I got back on the sharks

[PBenson]

We had an incredible week in Florida, this is just one of three videos ill be releasing of the action. On this night we had 8 runs (where the shark picks up your bait) and landed 5 blacktip sharks. It's mind-blowing how many of them there are out there at certain times of the year. My guess is they were migrating south in search of warmer waters. Check it out!

Pretty cool. Must be lots of fun. Well except maybe not so much for carrying the bait out with the wrong wind. Tks for sharing.

Looked like a big Penn on that second shark. What size reels do you need to use?

 

Cheers

It's a coincidence,because I watched this video yesterday.

 

 

 

And then saw this report today!

 

Great video! Scares the heck out of me though! I find it hard enough pulling a pike through a hole in the ice!! Let alone a dam SHARK!!

Depends on the sharks you're targeting but anything from an 8000 sized spinning reel to a 80w conventional. The reel in the video was a 50w.

My biggest fear, especially because we often kayak out at night.

Cool, didn't even know you could fish for sharks. Thought they would have been protected somehow. Is it strictly C&R?

Depends on the species, but but these blacktips aren't protected, although all of my fishing is catch and release.
