This latest cool front was really only our second cold front of the winter. We've been shark fishing some the last four weeks. Lots of action with a good variety of sharks. Bulls, blacktips and I believe Dusky sharks. The blacktips frequently thrash the surface and put on quite a show. Now that we're figuring them out were going to start fly fishing for them. The mid day to afternoon low tides we're having this week should make for some good sight fishing plus the afternon sun will warm the shallows and should draw the snook in. The swamp rabbit has been the hot fly lately. My kids Emma & Dylan with Mr. Bull shark. He was released and swam away happy.

None of them have ever seen a shark up close. It would be a hoot to get them hooked into some just to let them pull on them and see what this saltwater thing is all about. Any spots somehwhat close to Goodland's Walker Coon Key Marina (where I keep my boat) that you'd reccommend I try? Thanks in advance!!

These mark the edge of the channels. I anchor in about 4' of water. This allows me to catch jacks and ladyfish in the shallows, using spoons or jigs, which I use for bait and to replenish the chum bag. I use 40lb wire with the bait on the bottom with no weight. I let the sharks take the bait for a few seconds so he gets it and I use circle hooks. Typically Bulls and Black Tips. Good luck Thanks mark Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         Everglades Angler Forum Index -> Fish Reports, Stories, Discussions And Other Stuff All times are GMT - 5 Hours Page 1 of 1   Jump to: Select a forum Everglades Anglers Forums----------------Fish Reports, Stories, Discussions And Other Stuff  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum   Forums © Site designed by Simple Solutions using Flies and Fins & Maine To Do marketing strategies.
