Fishing for Sharks: A Guide for the Bold
Summary:
Every sport seems to have its extreme side, and shark fishing is no exception. Despite the fears sparked by movies like "Jaws," some adventurers seek out these ocean predators. If you're daring enough to try shark fishing, here are some essentials you should know before venturing out to sea.Timing and Preparation:
The prime time for shark fishing is in June, when the water temperatures are ideal. In the heat of summer, look for cooler areas where sharks might gather.Preparation is key. A checklist can help ensure you have everything you need, such as chum and the right gear. Your rods and reels should be robust enough to handle fish weighing 300 pounds or more. Plan to have three to five baits in the water at once, which means you'll need multiple rod and reel setups.
Equipment Essentials:
Choose a rod in the 50 to 80-pound class range. Don’t forget a harness and safety straps to prevent accidents. Chum is crucial for attracting sharks, so be ready for some onboard mess.Understanding Shark Behavior:
Know the species you're targeting, as different sharks inhabit different depths and water temperatures. To set a shark trap, tie your bait off the bow rail with a flat line clip. Use a weight or balloon to suspend the bait around 80 feet deep. Set additional baits at varying depths, using color-coded balloons to identify each line easily.Landing the Shark:
When a shark takes the bait, stand ready for its unpredictable behavior. Some may drag the bait before biting, while others might dash towards or away from the boat. Ensure your harness is securely attached to both the boat and the reel.As the shark nears the boat, an experienced partner can assist in bringing it aboard using hand wires. Avoid wrapping the wire around your hand for safety reasons. If you decide to keep the shark, gaff and rope it by the tail.
Conservation and Respect:
Only keep a shark if you plan to eat it, enter it in a tournament, or if it could break world records. You can always capture the moment with a photo without harming the shark.By following these tips, you'll be better prepared for the thrilling adventure of shark fishing.
