Sharks are common fish on the flats ranging from the tiny bonnethead to 200 plus pound monsters. That’s right it is common to see 200 pound sharks in a few feet of water. Sharks are another fish that can be targeted when other fish are not biting, but for most sharks you will have to crank up your tackle a bit to something heavier then what you would use for a bonefish or permit.
Sharks can be caught on bait or artificials. A pretty fun way to fish for them is to catch a barracuda and fillet it, leaving it hanging over the side of the boat, then anchor up on the flats in a couple feet of water. When the sharks start showing up cast at them with a large popper or fly.
