Land based sharking

I'm still down for a night or two of serious sharking during June 4-6.
Save & freeze any rays, Bluefish, Bobos & King heads for bait if ya plan on coming.
I will have two extra rods.

I am still planning on coming down to Ft Morgan the last few days of April and into May. My brother and I will be trying for Bull Reds and sharks with our casted spinning gear. Would be awesome if anyone experienced wanted to meet us down there during that time.

Also, I could really use some assistance on spooling up my two reels. I have a conflict 8000 with ~400yds of 65# Power Pro currently. I also have a FN Lethal 100 that needs line. Should i stick to 50-65# braid on both? Should I add topshots of mono to either? Would appreciate advice from anyone who has done some shark fishing off the point in Ft Morgan.

I am too old to handle this sport anymore but really enjoy reading about you guys and the activity. I will be a regular reader if a page is devoted to the subject. Good Luck and exercise care. I still enjoy catching some edible fish off the pier.

For sharking the spinners on the beach I would do 65-80# Sufix 832 braid with a long topshot of 50# mono, at least as long as your farthest cast.
The mono is much more abrasion resistant and you'd rather replace the mono than the braid.
Make sure the braid is spooled on 'tight'.

chilli is their a magic number for the water temp to produce good numbers of sharks.

Between when you start and when you leave, plus or minus two degrees.

And they are of course accurate.

Would that temp be for sea level only? At 1000 feet above sea level water boils at a much lower temp. I need to know when to be ready when we have a sharknado!!!!!!!

Thank you Chilli! A close proximity would have been fine. Theirs nothing wrong with being spot on.
