Blacknose Shark
San Diego, California, might not be the first place that comes to mind for shark fishing, but blacknose sharks can be found here, adding an element of surprise to your angling adventures. The warmer waters off the Southern California coast attract a variety of shark species, including the blacknose. They are most commonly encountered during the late summer and early fall. Focus your efforts in the bays and harbors, particularly around areas with heavy boat traffic and docks, where they scavenge for scraps. Mission Bay and San Diego Bay are good starting points. If you have a boat, try fishing around the kelp forests just offshore. A local tip: use a wire leader to prevent bite-offs, as these sharks have sharp teeth. San Diego's blacknose shark population is relatively small compared to other regions, so practice catch and release to help conserve the species.
