Pup sharks in the surf

[canny]

Who else has a blast catching these things? Getting ready for our first beach trip of the summer next week. Hoping the swells allow for some fishing. I know everyone loves to catch specks and reds, as do I. But for mid day fun catching 20-30” blacktips and spinners in the surf on bass tackle sure is fun. Plus they eat good too!






This 40” had me all the way down to the spool.

Good times

We used to drop anchor about even with the end of the north Jetty, on San Jose Island and catch one sand shark after another. We were trying to catch jacks, but getting past the layer of sand sharks was hard. We had to put heavier weights to get the bait to sink faster, to increase our chances of getting down to the jacks and not hooking another sand shark. Those things are a pain to dehook in a hurry, when you are trying to get your bait back in the water. When we got into them, your bait was never in the water more than 10 seconds before something took off with it. We used our bay fishing spinning tackle, so it was more fun.

Loved it when little sharks zip up and snags my wife or kids live shrimp on the north jetty! And they see it happen.. Fun times.

No doubt. If I'm trying to catch a shark I am trying to catch a big one. These little rascals have cost me a fortune in jig heads, hooks, and topwaters.

That’s why I target them specifically. 18” thin wire Carolina rig and never had one cut me off. I can’t tell you how many plastics I’ve lost on early morning wades due to them.

Very cool. What kind of bass tackle were you using?

[Man]

Going next week with sole intention to target them. Great Eating

Just a curado on a 7’ MH rod

Do you just filet them out or do you skin them like cats? also, do you bleed them out?

Gut, remove head and fins then slice vertically into steaks. Leaves the skin on and grill over charcoal

I hate those little suckers. Sometimes they’re downright nasty on a topwater.
