| I have been on this forum for the past three weeks getting knowledge for my trip to the Sandestin beach resort. I have caught plenty of ladyfish and blues from the surf there in the past, but always wanted a shark. I got one this time July 3rd at 6:15 am during high tide and here is what I used/did to catch this fighter. Maybe this will help those like myself that need the specifics: 850SSM Penn Spinning Reel spooled with 50lb. P Line braid 10ft two piece Cabelas Salt Striker rod 15-40 lb line weight; 2-8oz lure weight 3ft Malin 108lb. wire leader with 7/0 Gamakatsu circle hook with 3 oz pyramid sinker Frozen lady fish caught from the day before slightly thawed. I used the head Waded out 30 yards and casted out 30 yards; I set the drag loose, let it take the bait, then tightened and started reeling 30 minute fight then I grabbed it by the tail, pulled it up to the beach, took the picture, than got the circle hook out of the corner of its mouth and let it go. Awesome

| Konz, I remember you being concerned about what they were going to do with that big ass Mako caught between Destin and Navarre last year. Did you swallow the thing whole?

I think I will need a kayak next year to catch that sucker's momma!! I am already thinking about next year, since a kayak would require a different reel, a different rod, more line, and a hella lot more leader. That in turn leads to more $$. I will see what next year brings and hope to be yaking out the bait next time.

That's how it starts. Before you know it you'll be moving down here just to fish.
