I'm looking to catch sharks in the 3-4' range, maybe a little bigger, but all I have is a kayak and patience and time on my side. if there is anyone who could help guide me to a place I can catch even just one, I would be plumb tickled.
I've been trying in the bay and have gone as far out as 2 miles, but all I have managed to do was to see one as it came to see what I was and to see a turtle out there that was as big as a coffee table.
if anyone has any advise on where to go and what to use as bait I am all ears. thank you.

also if anyone is looking for a fishing buddy I am more than willing to tag alonganytime anywhere, I live to fish.

thanks

The lower Ches. Bay should be full of 'em this time of year. You don't need to get very far from shore either. I'd try any of the famous Cobia hot spots off grand view or anywhere near Cape Henry or Sandbridge. Avoid the oceanfront or you might run into some problems from the city. A short 500-1000 yd paddle, a chum bag, and fresh Bunker should get you started. I like bunker because you still stand a chance at a big redfish, Cobia as well as several other hard fighters. Of course, action will be best early morn. & late afternoon. Don't forget to bring something to cut the leader as small sharks should be released. Also, I use non stainless steel hooks when sharkin' for obvious reasons. Good Luck!

unless you want to catch a dogfish i wouldnt mess w/the bay. so what you need to do is back out bout 2 miles and use alot of bloody chum and drift for a couple hours using cut bait, ie, bluefish, bunker or dependind how big of a shark you want maybe a whole skate. good luck.
don't let your meat loaf.

I would strongly recommend fishing in the ocean down around Little Island Pier at the southend of Sandbridge. There are some BIG sharks down that way: Sand Tigers, Blacktips, and Bulls just to mention a few. Just offshore of the pier there is a 30 ft slough that the toothy critters seem to hang around. Any Oily and Bloody fish will make good bait. Hope this info is of some help. Good luck in your hunt. When you hook up, hang on and enjoy the ride....LOL. PEACE OUT. shark_smiley.gif

Ive fished for them in my kayac off of sandbridge. A chumbag tied to a long string so you can cut it off if needed. I went off the shore 3/4 mile. Its alot of fun. Good luck.
