Bull Shark
Looking for a serious adrenaline rush? Miami, Florida, is a prime location for targeting bull sharks. Biscayne Bay and the waters surrounding the Florida Keys offer excellent opportunities to encounter these powerful predators. Bull sharks are drawn to these waters by the warm temperatures and abundant prey. The best time to target them is during the warmer months, from late spring through summer (May-September). Fishing from a boat is highly recommended, especially in the deeper channels and nearshore reefs. Chumming is essential to attract the sharks, and a heavy-duty conventional rod and reel with wire leader is a must. Be prepared for a grueling battle! When handling bull sharks, prioritize safety and practice catch and release to help maintain the health of the population. Keep your hands clear of their mouth and use appropriate tools for hook removal. Remember to check local regulations regarding fishing licenses and any specific rules related to shark fishing in the area.
