caught this Bullshark in Sunwest Park.
I seen someone post a video of two sharks eating a dead mullet up in the shallows at SunWest park. Since then I have made it a mission to go and catch them I have put many hours into making it happen, these sharks have been hooked many times from other people but no one has successfully landed them from what I’ve heard from the park rangers. I went there about 4 times loaded with chum, and tons of dead bait like chunks of stingray, mullet, jack, mackerel, and etc! These guys were very shy of steel leader so I decided to drop down to some heavy monofilament line which resulted in my first bite and a long precise fight. After getting one to my feet and loosing him due to him biting through the line I tried heavier chum with steel leader to find out they were too smart to eat it. Finally I Got a few huge live baits sent them in the middle on steel leader and sure enough my lines tight! This just goes to show you that you never know what’s in a body of water in Florida these are landlocked lakes that have no ocean access, except for when we have a bad hurricane and the flood tides are significant!
