Occasionally I like to do a little shark fishing. I've caught them out at the Sabine Pass jetties but they are always small.

Any tips on how to target bigger sharks?

16/0 circle hook baited with three whole sardines or whole menhaden.
6ft of 300-500 # mono leader.

Baloon tied above the leader. Let it drift out up top.

Come with me end of July into August and September. We catch a lot of 6 - 8 footers on a nice shark hunt. Most people give up after one or two.....

I run a land based guide service off of bolivar Peninsula. I target big sharks and big bull reds. Check out my Facebook page Green Tide Surf Fishing for further information. Very reasonable rates and you�re bound to have a good time. Let me know if can help. I�d love to earn your business if you�d allow me. Thanks

bigger shark, need bigger bait.

cast net a big mullet or croaker(at least 12 in.) and put on the end of an offshore rig with a foot or so of wire leader. wait for the click and hold on. caught plenty big bull sharks and black tips that way.

croaker works best because of the sound

Sgrem how is the balloon used?
