One of the most underrated species in the area, the Treasure Coast hosts a variety of shark species, but the ones we like to target are blacktip and spinner sharks, which average somewhere between 50 and 100 pounds. Spinner sharks jump out of the water and spin when hooked, and both species are extremely fast and aggressive. For the most part, we target these species with fly tackle, but they can also be a lot of fun on spinning or plug tackle, and will strike topwater plugs with a vengeance. These sharks school in huge numbers off the beaches from February through May, and the large concentrations of sharks allow us to anchor and use chum to draw them near the boat. From there, they are incited to chase large flies and plugs using chumming techniques so that the shark is on the surface with its face out of the water striking at the offering. The fish are just as fun to watch as they are to catch. There is a one shark per person or two sharks per vessel bag limit on sharks in Florida waters, but as a rule, we don't bring sharks into the boat.
