Spinner Shark
Destin, known as the 'World's Luckiest Fishing Village,' provides access to spinner sharks primarily during the warmer months, from late spring through summer. These sharks patrol the nearshore waters and can be targeted from the beach, the Destin Jetties, or from a boat. The plentiful baitfish schools draw them in close. Look for areas with strong currents and structure, such as artificial reefs, as these often hold concentrations of bait. Be sure to check the regulations from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) for any specific rules regarding shark fishing. A medium-heavy spinning or conventional setup is ideal, and a wire leader is a must due to their sharp teeth. Live or cut bait like ladyfish or mullet are popular choices. Prepare for an exciting fight, as spinner sharks are known for their speed and aerial acrobatics.
