Land-based shark fishing.

Land-based shark fishing on Matagorda Beach. Mainly small sharks this time, but still fun. We break out the glow sticks and fish at night.

did you kill it

[txcoach21]

i release all sharks i catch, unless they are gut hooked and do not appear as if they will survive. Rarely, happens though.

I'm headed to Grand Isle Louisiana next week and could use some help. What size hook should I use? Do I need a steel leader? Do I just use cut bait and if so, how large of a piece? And do they only feed at night? Thanks

[txcoach21]

I use 14/0 circle hooks for most sharks. Using a whole whiting,mullet, or part of a stingray. For larger baits I use 20/0 circle hooks. Mono leaders will work on most sharks, but the few BIG ones out there 480# 7 strand cable is preferred. For a simple set up that will catch most sharks get a jigmaster reel, sturdy 5-6' reel, 30# line.
