Sand Tiger Shark
San Diego, California, may not be the first place that comes to mind for shark fishing, but it offers a unique opportunity to target Sand Tiger Sharks. These impressive creatures can be found in the waters off the coast, particularly around La Jolla Cove and other areas with rocky reefs and kelp forests. The best time to target them is during the late summer and fall months when the water temperatures are warmer. A practical tip: chumming is often essential to attract these sharks. Deploy a chum slick upcurrent of your fishing location to draw them in. Sand Tiger Sharks in this area are known for their docile nature and impressive size. Always practice responsible shark fishing techniques, using circle hooks and heavy tackle to minimize stress on the fish. Ensure you are familiar with local regulations regarding shark fishing, as they can be subject to change. Catch and release is strongly encouraged to help protect this vulnerable species.
