Want to go Shark fishing

[matthew7!]

Does anyone target sharks? Looking for a couple pointers on how to target sharks. What’s rigs you guys you and areas fished. I’ve heard of people targeting leopard sharks in mission bay with live bait. Anyone wanna go out and look for sharks with all this is over?

T sharks are probably schooling up at LJ. . so are yellows and seabass.. I hope this ends before summer is over. fly lining live bait will work, but you will probably have better luck with a Carolina rig using 6-8 oz lead. switching to heavy leader is wise idea. I will direct message you. seems like Jorge is giving me the run around and doesn't want to fish with me anymore.

Fishing Doheny late spring early summer with a 3 way swivel rig between 30-120ft will catch you a bunch of leopards. Live mac or sardine. If you don't want to lose a half a dozen hooks, use wire.

Thanks for that. I need to get on the water.

Leopard sharks, soupfins and spiny dogfish sharks are eatable. Some say tasty.
They are everywhere. You would be surprise how shallow they hang out. If I was going to fish for them, I would fish a 6/0 hook with a whole frozen squid in 10 feet of water. Skin diving for more years then I wish I could have back, I'd go to cobble stone points and hunt them over mussel beds. As I've observed leopards "crocodile" rolling, digging their meals out of them. They reach 7 feet long, but you can keep them as small as 3 feet.

if we could throw out a line when the are schooling at Lj. . there must be hundreds of them? it is pretty amazing if you have not seen it. I believe it is a year round thing? an internet search might provide an estimation for the approximate time of year.
