Q:
I set up a couple rods with very large bait, and very large(16/0-20/0) circle hooks. I take my kayak and paddle out past the breakers(it's usually dark by this time) a few hundred yards and drop the big baits. I come back and tighten up the slack and loosen up the dragand wait......Bzzzzzzzz goes the drag!!! I pick up the rod and patiently fight the creature for about 40 minutes. The fish is a 6' Sand Tiger shark. Not a very large one, but a great fighter!! Slowly I let him swim freely back into the water. I call it Extreme Beach Shark Fishing. The sharks vary in species and size getting up to 9-10ft long.It is the greatest thing I have ever done...living life on the edge I say. The question is, has anyone tried or experienced this? If not.....TRY IT!!!!

I met a 15 y.o. kid from pa. who does that here at the Jerseyshore. He was in need of an ambulance becuase of a large treblehook buried in his big-toe. Pretty cool way to fish though.
Sounds cool, I'd love to try that someday.
Got some people who "striper" fish that way here. No sharks, this far in from the Mississippi though.
I see lots of peeps shark fishing on South Padre Island and have seen some really large sharks caught, just never shark fished the surf myself tho. I've seen news chopper videos of the surf with hundreds of sharks(some 12+ feet) swimming among beach swimmers, swimmers never knew the sharks where there.
