Thread: shark fishing

I know you can't catch sharks from the pier but can you catch them from the beach? Or is it better to charter a boat for shark?

There can be some 'issues' with fishing for or landing a shark on the beaches of Gulf Shores and Orange Beach any where near folks swimming (or ANYwhere in the state park).

So yes, your best bet is to get someone on a boat to take you.
