Shark Fishing

I shark fish from shore and from a boat but the technique is similar for both. You have to use a Dispenser when shark fishing. Our Shark Tub is very effective, despite its small size. Due to the small size, if you do not use a dispenser, most sharks over five feet can simply eat the tub and your chum is gone. Use 6" PVC, a milk crate, or five gallon bucket with holes drilled into it.

When I am fishing from shore, I use a 10" length of PVC with several ½" holes drilled into it and tie a piece of chord or ¼" rope to the dispenser. I throw the dispenser out to slightly up current of my target fishing area. Fishing from shore, you can usually bottom fish for shark and have tremendous success. If I am fishing under a balloon, I cast to the chum dispenser location and let it drift in the scent trail and just recast to the same spot each time and let it drift the slick again.

From my boat, I fish a little differently. If I am targeting Mako or other upper water column sharks, I suspend my chum about 30' deep from the back or side of the boat depending on whether I am drifting or slow trolling. I will usually put out two tubs if I am in blue water targeting pelagic species. As I drift, I insure my baits stay within my slick. Our Shark Tub insures an unbroken scent trail that is very powerful and will draw in sharks from miles away!

If I am fishing near shore or in shallow water, I use a dispenser and put the chum right on the bottom if I am anchored. Some people choose to supplement our chum with chunk chum. I do not. It adds nothing to the slick and I want the only edible thing in the water to be my baits. 

I sure hope this helps you understand our products and how they work. We distribute a continuously strong scent over the full life of the product. We are as strong the last minute as we were the first minute in the water. We never get weaker like other scents or chums.
