Shark fishing

[PapaDave]

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.

That seems interesting. Guys I'm really excited about targeting them can you guys help with some tips on how to fish them and where off of Dana point or Malibu or whatever?
