Beach Fishing Another day another shark....

[ben23]

Well.......The next day after the BIG Sandbar I was at 3r's trying again. The flies were unbearable, but I was able to catch this just before the whole biting flie colony descended upon my car......
I hate west wind.......

She measured 7ft 8 inches.......
It was nice to get a crowd on the beach to see her.....













Well, back at it again tonight!!! If you want to get out sharking tonight at 3r's road.....there will be a bunch of us fishing for them toothy critters......

How do you ever go back to bass fishing after catching all these monsters?

[Sam]

Nice job! Were you able to get the hook out?

[trowpa]

Great job again Ben - you should quit this Bass stuff and teach us all how it's done with the sharks!

Haha! Another fantastic job Ben!!!!
What are you doing different?
Still using Skate?

We're not gonna' let you have all the fun alone!
Are all these in DE? (I think so)

another nice one, making me feel bad that i cant get too the beach for another week and a half.

[fishin'girl422]

very nice.. .please do share... what rig? what bait? I wanna catch a shark too!

[ben23]

I am using the same rig that the guys in Texas use. It is a double j-hook rig with a sliding spider weight. I am using 12/0 hooks that are NOT Stainless Steel. They will rust out very quickly if you can not get the hook out......

As for bait- I am always scanning up and down the beach for bent rods......9/10 times it is a stingray or a skate........

And so far ever person has been excited to hand me their catch once they hear I am using it for shark fishing. Each ray makes a solid 1-2 baits. If I got down and caught a bunch of them, I would only use one per bait and leave it out for much longer (the texas guys will let a single ray bait sit for 24-48 hours).

Yes, my sharks are coming from Delaware drive one beaches. I am trying to find another time when I can come down and do some sharking! I'd love to do it with some of you guys. As long as I know that there will be enough bait (skate/ rays) to make 5-6 big baits.....I am there!!

I might have a picture of one of my baits......I will try to find it....
