Hi guys I’m from MN heading down to Gulfport FL for a week on April 6th. Never have fished for shark before but have always wanted to. Any suggestions for that time frame/area. What is the lightest gear I can get away with? I will be bringing the equipment with me as I don’t have the $$$ to get a nice shark set up for one week of fishing.
Would a big spinning reel/heavy 7ft rod with 30#-40# MONO and a long leader do?
I will be casting out as I wont have a kayak, any suggestions on what type of weights to pick up / a good place to get bait around Gulfport.
Thanks guys
Gulfport, FL area April 6th-13th

try sports authority in st.pete for spider surf weight try and fish the st.pete pier you can catch small black tips out there and you might wanna buy some braid to increase your line capacity depending on what size reel you have 65lb braid should be good for sharks in 6foot and down range good luck
