[Andrew K]

Dave/Sam - let me know when you gents receive ur dvd.

[Sam]

Got it this morning, Andrew... Getting ready to watch it now

[wdinarte]

WOW..Nice video, catch and fight.
I'm wondering how lethal can be this guy out of the water?...

I'm wondering how lethal can be this guy out of the water?...

Only as lethal as you are careless... Just use common sense and be very careful.

[Andrew K]

the first big shark i caught by my self (first shark in video) you can see im running with it, it was a little sketchy. but after spending two nights on the beach with dave and sam, they taught me their way of handling the sharks, and it makes more sense. dave does a good job of handling the spinner, you can see the shark aint happy, but dave was patient and careful and all was well.

I guess like sam said in one of his comments, better to be with some one who know some of shark fishing...I hope one day I have the chance to try.
I have one more quick question, do you still have to know how to read the beach special at night for shark fishing?... or just pick a place and try to be lucky...?
just wondering and working on my homework.

I would say if you're lucky enough and have a good enough eye to find a break in the sandbar during the day you would just keep fishing there. From what i've read that's where more action is. But really when they say the sharks are in close at night that is true, last summer(early august), i casted my 8 footer out at 3ish in the am and that's when i hooked into something Big. It was literally running line off my spool faster than i've ever saw. I was using a top/bottom rig though like an idiot with a big hook on it and the rig just came apart after 10 seconds. But yea that was the biggest fish i've ever felt on a rod, and I've caught a handful of 30ish lb carp off my pier before. Even if i had a good leader/rig on there i still think that fish would have took all the line off the spool and broke it, I had a pretty small reel.

Andrew got the video monday, sorry i replied so late internet has been down all week. As for shark fishing i will gladly throw some bait with anyone from this site and i am willing to share my knowledge. i dont recommend trying it by yourself. shark are very dangerous fish and you can also hurt them as easily as they can hurt you. if you want to shark fish go with someone experienced. like i said i will gladly go but i am usually only available during the early part of the week.

[Andrew K]

no problem dave, glad you enjoyed it.

as for the question, same rules apply, you want to find a good spot to fish. i typically like to find a place before it gets dark. we fished down in sandbridge, va one night got there late and set up, next day we were fishing on top of this massive bar at high tide the water was maybe a few feet. better to check before dark and make sure you get a hole. but hey thats my two cents.

[wdinarte]

Great, thanks guys.
Sound great and I would like to try one day, but I need to make a good plan. My location is the North Of Virginia like 2-3 hrs to some of seashore.
Some time I have to stay at the hotel or camping. I will raised my voice when i'm ready, Thanks for the offer.

Hey Andrew,

Good to see you at the GBFA flea market and thanks for the heads up on the shark video

Looks like yall had your hands full of a good time there doing the AI shark shuffle

Mark

Sam how's that Blue Yonder holding up and did ya land a AI Sandbar on it yet? Not much to report from down here Hampton Roads way of yet. Popped WSJ today for a bit NADA.

[Sam]

Mark, I don't think I've landed any large sharks using the Blue Yonder. I'll have to give it a test on some stripers here shortly.

Andrew, excellent video!
