I was wondering if anyone here has try to go after Sharks? Not the 2 ft ones but larger. And if someone has pointers on the subject. We may try this on our next saltwater trip just for CPR's if possible.

[dbldaddy]

Where's mr randy at? He catches those great big ones in his kayak!!!!

[Bass Fishin Tejanos]

He fishes for sharks in his kayak? You have to be kidding me. Vett0 and I werejust talking about fishing for big fish off a yak. I wonder how they handle reeling in a big fish in when a yak with not having some thing to anchor you down. I have never been in a yak much less fished off of one. It sould be very intresing to hear what Mr. Randy has to say about the subject.

[rholstein3922]

use to shark fish my bigest is about six foot

[Bass Fishin Tejanos]

What type of tackle did you use?

[rholstein3922]

fished from peirs 50# line 8oz. weights and some big hooks with 400# steel leader fun to catch better to eat

[vett0111]

What hooks are the best for shark fishing? Circle hook ? What is the best bait for them Fresh, Dead or live?

[Bass Fishin Tejanos]

Good deal. How much of a fight did that 6 footer put up?

[rholstein3922]

I went in academy in Conroe . There is a pic of randy with a big shark on one side of his yak on the bullitine board there .

[vett0111]

Thanks Jeff. i have to make it in there to check out the pic.

rholstein3922 Can you bring pic of the shark you caught to the Muster? Maybe even one of your rigs you use?

[rholstein3922]

will do i do not have any pic. but will bring set up

[willie]

i fish for them regularly. we've caught some real nice ones offshore of san luis pass were yall were fishing. when in the boat i use big circle hooks and 400 lb mono line just free line a large mullet or pogi(big shad). or when the surf is flat i chase the shrimp boats offshore. i use the mono in the boat so when i pull one onside of the boat i can just cut the line. then i also fish the surf with my long rods with 400lb steel leader, spider wieghts and large circle hooks. the trick to circle hooks is to leave alot of the hook exposed so the bait doesn't ball up on it. go to fishing tackle unlimited or bass pro for leader material and hooks. academy does sell the big stuff.

[Bass Fishin Tejanos]

My bad bud I ended up falling asleep last night. But I'll give you a call later today.

[vett0111]

will do i do not have any pic. but will bring set up

Thanks . I can't wait till I catch a big shark. Thanks for the info. See you Sat at the muster

[vett0111]

Thanks Willie for the info. You answered some of my questions all ready. I was wondering where to buy the heavy leaders. Thanks

[vett0111]

pic's are awesome. i'm buying me a kayak now.

[Bass Fishin Tejanos]

Those are some great great awesome pictures Rod Dawg, what size leader is that. I'm pumped about catching some now.

[rod dawg 123]

400#mono (Bill Fisher package comes with sleeves)
mustad 16/0 circle hooks 39960D

You can get the materials at FTU (fuqua exit).

[Bass Fishin Tejanos]

Thanks for the info we are going to another FTU store over by the shop on the westside. And won't make it out on to the water til nextweekend. Are you making it to the Muster this weekend? If you do bring some pix so we can get educated on how to handle a shark.

[rod dawg 123]

I apologize, I won't be able to make muster. My better half is addicted to catching bullreds so we are meeting about 15 yakkers at High Island tomorrow. Randy will have info on yak sharking and I think he will be at the muster. He usually carries the type of rods/reels/leaders/etc we typically use in his new trailer. He can also tell you how to CPR a shark out of a yak. Wish I could be there. Sounds like fun.

[Bass Fishin Tejanos]

No problem bud there will be plenty other muster and get togethers. Those bull reds get addicting after the first one. You guys be safe out there, we will be hear to read your report afterwords. Good luck

[vett0111]

Awesome pics. Those are some big sharks. WTG thanks for the info and sharing the report

[Craig]

I would definately need a bigger boat!!

[vett0111]

Has anyone Tried using Chum for attracting sharks?
Is fresh chum bait or frozen bait the best for chumming?
Can anyone give any pointers on chumming ?

[gator]

NO NO NO i can hear one shark telling the other shark yeah the one on the left is smaller but lets tip that big ole fat gator over well eat for weeks. NO NO NO i aint going

[vett0111]

[vett0111]
