Shark fishing
Anyone want to go shark fishing this week? It's been on my mind ever since I started kayak fishing but to be honest I'm pretty clueless about it. I know the basics and basic spots you can say but never seen one in person. So now I'm kind of asking for someone to tag along with and we can both get some. I'm free this Wednesday or any other time will be good if not this week. Just let me know. See ya on the water.

I met a guy named Tony Rigatoni in Newport last year. Said him and his buddies target thresher, usually starting in July/August. Said one day between 3 of them, they caught 7 of them! They released all and kept one. He's not on here, but look up his name on YouTube.

I've seen them earlier than July. I've caught them in November as well. A couple of years ago there was a school of them at DP in May, for two weeks a buddy and me hooked up on 15 in the +/-100lb range. I am assuming the weight, we didn't manage to land them. But they were mighty big when they jumped out of the water 25 feet in front of you.

With spots of 64 degree water around, there's a decent chance of hooking one this early in the season. Water temps in mid 60's is ideal.

Ive caught threshers in every month. Follow the baitballs and IMO a little greener water on the slack tides they are the most active.
And some say they immediately follow the broomhandle cuda which never left the kelp around DP.

I've never done it, but Tony said they just do a Carolina, drop down a Mac a half way down, and drift around. Once hooked up, I guess the fights average 1-2 hours. Good luck, let us know how it goes.

Troll a Rapalla CD-14 in Blue near bait fish by watching for birds, surface action or fish finder. If you need to take a break from paddling drop down either a live or dead mackerel. I've even caught them on a Rapalla just dangling in the water as if it was dead. I've caught them in 30-200' of water but most bigger ones seem to be in the deeper water over 100'.
I tie directly onto the lure or hook with no more than 30# mono. I know all the excellent points for bigger line and leaders but I get bit a lot more with the lighter line. Good Luck!

Lol sounds fun but where would you look for them around the kelp or just follow baitfish water temps?
