It’s hammerhead shark fishing time!!!
When we set out to film some shark fishing tips with Capt. Mark Johnson, we had no idea how many sharks would come right up to the boat.
And we certainly never imagined that a big 8-foot hammerhead shark would cruise up to the boat (and circle us until finally eating the bait).
Let me tell you, catching a big hammerhead on light tackle is a blast (as you’ll see in the video).
Sharks are pure muscle and are so fun to catch! It had been so long since we had targeted sharks that we forgot how much fun shark fishing is.
In this video, we'll show you the following as it pertains to catching sharks:
How to bring sharks to your boat fast
The best type of cut bait to attract sharks
How to catch big sharks on light tackle
How to create a perfect chum slick (to attract sharks)
When it’s a good idea to chase the shark (vs staying put)
And as you will see, you don’t need massive shark tackle (big shark rods and shark reels) to catch decent size sharks.
You also don’t need to be in a special shark fishing spot. We literally picked a random spot off of Islamorada (that none of us had ever fished) and started chumming.
Within minutes, sharks were present.
Pretty awesome, huh!
This way of catching sharks is such a blast and will have you want to go out and try it immediately.
Have any questions about this type of shark fishing?
