The word is inherently terrifying, but for Capt. Billy Miller, “shark” means much more than a fearsome fish – it means a ton of fun with loads of light tackle action.
This exciting fishery remains dependable in all but the winter months, but once spring warms the coastal waters, sharks flood the shallow grass flats to feed on the growing baitfish schools. This inshore blast continues all through the summer and fall, so you can plan your trip as you wish and expect an unforgettable encounter with one of the sea’s most aggressive and iconic fish.
The list of likely shark species includes: blacktip, spinner, Atlantic sharpnose, bull, hammerhead and bonnethead. All of these sharks pack a mouthful of serious teeth, but don’t stress the safety concern – Capt. Billy and his mate are highly experienced in not only catching sharks, but also ensuring a safe and comfortable experience for anglers of all ages.
A lot of the sharks you’ll see over the shallow grass beds are juveniles in the 2- to 4-foot range. Definitely entertaining and always full of energy, but if you’d like to tackle something larger – maybe an adult bull or blacktip in the 6-foot range – Capt. Billy can adjust the focus to deeper habitat and deploy larger baits on heavier tackle.
In this scenario, you’ll trade the more active, quantity-based pursuit of smaller sharks for the shot at something with greater mass and attitude. Safe to say, that when the big rod bends, it’ll be a shark worthy of bragging rights.
