I was wondering if it is possible to catch some good size sharks without going too far out. We have a 20' Sea Ox but it is new (to me) and we have had some problems with it so I don't want to venture out in the ocean too far. By good size I mean 5'+. I have caught smaller sharks but would like to catch some big ones. Any info would be appreciated. Would I be able to get into some at one of the wrecks at the mouth of the bay or just off the beach. Would my chances be good at getting on a cobia or king mac while fishing these wrecks? Just trying to increase the odd's at getting some large fish at a given spot.
My dad and I must have caught atleast 20 blacktips last weekend off Sandbridge in less than 2 hours live baiting for cobia and kings. Everywhere from 1 - 4 miles out. It got so old catching them we left and ran to fish some inshore structure for flatties. Some close to 5'. We were using 4-7" lives (spot/croaker). Cannot find menhaden off the beach...
