Robert Basara I go shark surf fishing a lot . And I find the best spot is Long Beach island . The reason is is that up north in the jersey shore it’s all rocky reef and down south is where the sharks breed because it’s just sandy and no rock sturcutes. So best spots are Stone Harbor , Cape May , but mainly LBI.
@@meadbriggs766 LBI is good. So are point south - north of Corson's, Sea Isle City, Cape May. High tide, when the water drops off and you can sit that bait in the hole in front of the sand bar. Now, if you have a drone or yak, get in behind the bar and go for the larger ones!
Sandbar sharks, or Bull sharks patrolling the longbeach island, we have a summer home were my sister stays year round and the fishing has improved dramatically since it's gotten cleaner, to think I used to swim and surf the LBI not knowing there was an abundance of sharks species.
Looks like you crushed it on sharks in Nj !!!!! Sick deal I been chasing them for a few years now and the excitement when the drag screams gets my blood pumping! Maybe one day we can meet for some shearling in jersey!
To catch this size during the day in NJ is extremely impressive. More of night fishing sizes here. Good work. During the day I’m only seeing babies in LBI and OCNJ
I cant even tell you how many times i have watched this video, its amazing! I am from South Jersey myself and its great to see someone killing it on our beaches, keep up the good work chris!
What an awesome day you guys had. Hopefully we get that kinda action when me and my buddies go again this summer. Only caught one small sandbar last year. Looking to upgrade!
Kudos on the trash bag comment, nothing but respect for that. And those were some awesome fights. Quick question, what's the ballpark quote on what your rod/reel combos costed? I live nowhere near the ocean so I don't see poles like that in the stores here
The rods are pretty cheap, I like cheaper rods due to how messed up theyll inevitably become from casting big knots/big weights. The reel I use is a shimno spheros 14000fb which I got for 140$ about 5 years ago, nowadays the same reel will run you about 200$. Altogether the setup I use for sharks would be about 200-250$
Josh Sedgwick those are budget set ups. Can do a rod and reel spooled with rigs and bait for under $150. Not bad for a season or two but you're gonna have to keep spending that money
Planning on going out to LBI this summer to fish like this, what are the restrictions for when you can do this on a public beach? Since it will be summer and a lot of people will be out, is it limited to a certain time in the morning and then a certain time around night? Obviously I'm not going to try this in the middle of the day but I also hard time believing that the beaches clear out beach goers until after dark.
Pretty sick catches. Could you tell me the location of this place? I've been looking for nice places to surf fish in NJ. The only place I go to is Sandy Hook and it isn't great. Thank you
Really enjoy your videos. Can I ask what your set up is like? Do you use a shock leader? How long is your steel leader and how heavy is the wire and what size circle hook do you use? Thanks for any information you can share!
Hey man, I have a beach house in sea isle and have been trying to catch a shark there this past year but have not seemed to have any luck. The beach you are fishing I this video seems more calm than the beaches I go to in sea isle. I was wondering where in sea isle this is if you don't mind sharing?
Chris, great videos. I love the flounder vids. We fish flounder all the time but around OCNJ, where we live, the flounder seem to be dwindling. A question on your surf shark fishing. I couldn't see the weights on you lines. Do you use storm sinkers? Heavy lead? Thanks. And keep the videos coming.
If you had to chose would it be frozen bunker or fresh bluefish, because I have all the right gear to catch the blues, and I heard fresh is always better. So a little advice?
I know a thing or two about shark fishing, from a boat that is. Usually from boat we have a three line spread on floats at different depths different distances from boat. The further, the deeper. And you drift with a chum pot with bunker chum. However, the bait of choice usually is bluefish filet. I think fresh bluefish would definitely work from shore, but use half a filet or so.
Great vid, what do u use electric tape for. When u said don't need tape. I know anything works, but what was the bait u were using. Also. Do u have any recommendation on a good place to get some flounder from a kayak.
Chris Stackhouse You can wrap electrical tape around the shank of the hook and up the wire, which in theory would make the shark comfortable as it eats your bait, as opposed to straight wire getting fouled in the teeth/spooking the shark. We used bunker on these days, nothing too fresh either, 2 day old bait and even frozen bait. For kayak fluke Id go on the backside of any inlet right now.... whether it be hereford townsends absecon corsons or barnegat. email me mcinteechris@gmail.com Ill give ya a couple spots
Hey sea money, I got a kid and he's really enthusiastic about sharks. I wanna take him in the summer to go catch a shark here in Jersey but I am not familiar with salt water fishing. Are there any specific spots you would recommend. It would be highly appreciated If you could let me know. Thanks!
That was some nice sharks u guys got, I'm going to the beach in august, I have a 7ft surf rod, what would u recommend as bait and how far out do u cast for little sand sharks?
Love this channel. You have so much great content. Do you have any advice for shark fishing like this? I enjoy surf fishing the Jersey Shore for stripers/drum/dogfish but I would love to try fishing for sharks.
Impressive, especially since you didn't have to kayak the bait out. I've tried many times to try to catch them in the NJ surf, but I've never caught anything large. I got lucky once, and hooked a large shark, but I was using a striper rig so its teeth broke the leader. How were you able to prevent smaller fish from taking the bunker? Is it just luck?
Brandon Janz i crush barbs on some hooks. Circles "usually" hook sharks so well in the jaw that a barb isn't needed. Like someone else said, keep a bend on the rod and you'll be fine.
Hey chris love the video great job as always, i was wondering, i know you used 65 braid but did you use any mono or wire leader? If so what pound test and how long?
I live in NJ trying to build me a new shark set up i fish out in the great bay and i pull in maybe 3-4 foot bulls need to find a new spot to try out my new set up. What are you usingz
Great video. I totally know which beach this is but it's not cool to say. Cause as a fresh water fisherman i would hate for my special spots to be blown up haha but I really want to start doing some shore fishing to finally fulfill my dream of catching a big shark for the first time haha. Good luck bro stay safe
Interesting video. I just got into shark fishing, from the boat though. I hooked into something that I couldn't lift up to the surface, not even slowly on a 23-25 lb drag setting. I was fishing inbetween shrewsbury rocks and monmouth beach in about 65 feed of water, right on the bottom. After 2 minutes we had 2 big bites. I hooked into it with a spinning reel Okuma Avenger Bait Feeder 65. The fish spooled a full spool of 30 lb test braid off that reel in minutes. Lucky I had enough time to tie it onto my Penn international 50. We fought it at around 10 lb drag for a couple hours then bumped it up to max strike and eventually pulled the hook after almost 4 hours into the fight. The line actually held up really good for 30 lb test. Judging by the setup you have, I would guess that 20 pounds of drag resistance in an unusual amount for this type of thing... Have you tested your drag with a pull scale or anything?
That reel is actually a beast with 44lbs of max drag. Ill usually fight sharks at 10-15lbs of drag but sometimes will give them the heat and lock it down, although i dont know how much drag Ive got on them at the time. Its actually easier to fight them from the beach, the same size shark from boat could take up to twice as long to fight. Lifting them straight off the bottom is harder than pulling them in to shore. Id bet you hooked into some big sandtigers, tons of huge sandtigers in that 60' depth range
+Chris McIntee You are right, it seems like from the boat is more difficult in a sense because you have to lift them off the bottom. This one I couldn't gain any line on it except when we put the boat in reverse. The 50 VSW has 40 something pounds of drag but I was using only 30 lb line on a different rig that wasn't prepared for sharks. Eventually the hook pulled though.
Surfishin5 Thanks, its still early in the year so sharkin is tough right now, but literally all the beaches in NJ will produce, its more about reading the beach at low tide and picking a spot that puts you into good depth at a higher tide. this was from sea isle. Conditions are important... calm, warm water is needed for the sharks to run the beaches, strong wind/storms/coastal upwelling will push them out off the beach. right conditions and you'll catch these everywhere. Dont be afraid to try the backbays too, plenty of sharks come thru the inlets and into the back
+Connor Oot good bait yes, top and bottom rigs with small hooks, bloodworm is the best bait but clam, fishbites (artificial bloodworms), tiny pieces of fresh cutbait and squid all work well. They are fun on light tackle, all those fish fight really hard for their size
We cast most of the time, if you cant hit 8'-10' of water on your cast Id highly suggest paddling a bait out. Paddle it out into 15' of water and you'll be getting sandtigers upwards of 10' from any beach in NJ, watch that water temp tho
hi,im from the uk(Northumberland),if I was wanting to come for a holiday with my wife and do some beach fishing when would be the best time of year,also could you recommend a area to stay that's near to a beach .the reels I use here I would think would be ok there (penn spinfisher 7500lc and a fin nor offshore 85.both with powerpro braid in 66lb).id look to buy a rod and end tackle when over there
+longsusan Hey best time to be over here in NJ for sharks would be June through september. My favorite times to fish are early and late in the run when the crowds arent bad, it can get crowded during peak times. Staying for the night or multiple nights would be expensive, you'd have to rent a house here at the shore, or stay at a local hotel (Im not familiar with the hotels, google it up, they'll likely be 200$/night). You could get creative and look into staying at a hotel in Atlantic City, a lot of the casinos have discounted suites/deals, however I'm unfamiliar with any of those.
That seems better cause I have been trying off island beach but the pre made leaders are just way to long to use and attempt to cast with just got to make one my self I guess instead of the premade stuff are you using any weights or floats to keep it right off bottom so it's not crab food lol ???
+conor27 Generally cut it into chunks, might get about 3 chunks per Bunker. If the Bunker is old I will throw it out whole but casting distance becomes an issue. We use large circle hooks and just hook the chunk through the back, leaving as much of the hook exposed as possible
FYI in new jersey you measure the length of a shark from nose to fork. Also sandbar and sandtiger sharks are a prohibited species to land in NJ and take photos with. You can't remove it from the water and broke federal regulations.
RH421939 bluefish is good bait, where are you fishing? The sharks are thick this year they should be all up and down the jersey coast right now, youre probably fishing too shallow, Id check some other beaches that might have deeper water
Cole Baldwin Possibly, yes, you might find a stray at some point in the summer when the water is warmest. The Sandtigers can tolerate slightly colder water than the sandbars, typically you want around 70 degree water for both species but they can be found in waters as cool as 61-65 degrees, so if your water temps get up into the 60's or better yet 70's then you'd have a good shot at either a sandbar or sandtiger shark. Cape cod and other parts of massachusetts get decent numbers of both species when water temps allow, but generally they dont go any further north than the cape.
Im avoiding answering the exact "where" question haha, hope you understand. They swim the beaches though, all the beaches in new jersey actually, finding the right conditions will do you better than exact location if you were looking to get in on the action.
Hey, Chris, had to come back and watch this. I have the Covid Blues and am jonesin to get out! Soon, soon, soon . . . .
i feel ya
What beach do you thinks the best spot for sharks in nj
looks like they are on the bay no?

It's funny how you guys call them browns and we call them sandbars down here in florida! Good video!
Thanks, youre right theyre sandbars, I dunno why us northerners refer to them as browns...
That's weird cuz I call them Sandbar sharks and I'm from New Jersey probably just because that's the first name I heard from them
Looks cape may. Definetly bay for sure
What an awesome day you guys had. Hopefully we get that kinda action when me and my buddies go again this summer. Only caught one small sandbar last year. Looking to upgrade!
Sweet vid guys! I work on a charter boat in Lewes Delaware and we do shark trips caught 10 sand tigers and 1 200 lb + brownie last month

Spent many summers of my youth in the sixties and seventies at Sea Isle. I miss the south Jersey shore. Great memories on 71st Street.
Sharks are like rabbits in the sense that both are active around dawn and dusk.
nice video. the sharks must have put up a lot of fight lol did u use any wire trace to prevent the shark from biting the trace off?
+Basic_Fishing Yep 174lb wire, thanks!
Must be cape may is see an eagles shirt lol

cool vid. you guys do not snap a tooth as memory?
what are you guys using to lite up the tip of your rods?
Awesome video! You guys work well as a team, well done! Keep it up!
Great video. Was this sunset beach?
You can tell that beach is steep and has depth, you can tell that by the wave behavior. Hardly any Wawes they only break on shore.
That was some nice sharks u guys got, I'm going to the beach in august, I have a 7ft surf rod, what would u recommend as bait and how far out do u cast for little sand sharks?
Cast as far as you can with the freshest bait you can find/catch. Croaker kingfish bunker, all good.
Love this channel. You have so much great content. Do you have any advice for shark fishing like this? I enjoy surf fishing the Jersey Shore for stripers/drum/dogfish but I would love to try fishing for sharks.
MATE I LIVE IN AUSTRALIA JUST STARTED BEACHING FISHING, WE HAVE A LOT OF GUMMY SHARKS WHAT SIZE IS YOU LINE ON THE ROD GOOD VIDEO
Are they not a protected species?
do you prefer to fish in the inlet or the beach for sharks?

best fishing channel. good job man.
Do you guys flatten the barbs on your circle hooks?
Brandon Janz No, I like that idea though might try that in the future
+Brandon Janz I'm looking to flatten the barbs on all my hooks. Mostly Fluke, Blues, Stripers. Can you suggest something?
+Patrick O'Rourke i know people flatten the barbs on the bucktails.. just keep a bend in the rod and you wont loose the fish
Brandon Janz i crush barbs on some hooks. Circles "usually" hook sharks so well in the jaw that a barb isn't needed. Like someone else said, keep a bend on the rod and you'll be fine.
I know we're this is I use to fish here with my dad all the time. It's called great kills park in Staten Island
ReelFishing SWFL too clean to be staten island haha
Did you just pull that sharks tooth out or something like that? Or was it that the line was caught in his teeth?
Hey chris love the video great job as always, i was wondering, i know you used 65 braid but did you use any mono or wire leader? If so what pound test and how long?
+Fishin Is Amazing yep 10-20' of 150lb mono to about 12" of 174lb steel haywire twisted to the hook

Great video. This was in June, or was that just when you posted?
Squatting a spot between 8am and noon is highly recommended.
Grate video man, expellant work! What type of bait did you use?
We were using bunker we bought from the girls place on rt 47
These sharks are gorgeous I love them!
how do you get it so far out? i usually use a dingy or a paddle board to get it out far
Seems like a lot of fun
oh dam you had one with spinal stenious lmao nice fish though ..
Were at in NJ was this. Trying to find a new spot closer to my house.
Were you using a shock leader of some sort?
What lb braid do you use when fishing like this?
what kind of bait were you using for the browns?
One of your best videos unusual ,,,,, lots of fun
What happened to the guy with the 200lb shark
Yo bro where are some deeper beaches that are good for shark fishing. I usually fish in wildwood or sea isle. What street are you on here
Where in wildwood?
You guys seem like seasoned fishermen to nj. Other than sharks what else can you catch from the surf in the summer months?
Unfortunately not much else aside from "panfish" aka spot croaker kingfish pin fish and snapper blues. Some flounder are about as good as you'll get
+Sea-Money Fishing any tips on catching those "panfish". Might be fun on light tackle. And good bait right?
+Connor Oot good bait yes, top and bottom rigs with small hooks, bloodworm is the best bait but clam, fishbites (artificial bloodworms), tiny pieces of fresh cutbait and squid all work well. They are fun on light tackle, all those fish fight really hard for their size
+Sea-Money Fishing awesome thanks. Sand fleas work?
I havent tried them too much, they seem to work better for tog/drum but im sure the little ones would work
Do they still bite in the cold ?
i really enjoy your vids i have to come to new Jersey
Hey man how do you do get your baits out there? Like just by casting or free spooling and going out with a kayak?
We cast most of the time, if you cant hit 8'-10' of water on your cast Id highly suggest paddling a bait out. Paddle it out into 15' of water and you'll be getting sandtigers upwards of 10' from any beach in NJ, watch that water temp tho
Thanks, can I message you some more questions?
Outdoor USA absolutely
Does it taste good?
Sea Money. I love this video plz comment me back where was this in ocean city
Nice sandbar just moved up here from Florida looking to do fishing around cape cod
Theyre catching these same sandbars in cape cod right now!
what kind of bait do u use for shark fishing?
Hey mike.What weight line you using?
hi,im from the uk(Northumberland),if I was wanting to come for a holiday with my wife and do some beach fishing when would be the best time of year,also could you recommend a area to stay that's near to a beach .the reels I use here I would think would be ok there (penn spinfisher 7500lc and a fin nor offshore 85.both with powerpro braid in 66lb).id look to buy a rod and end tackle when over there
+longsusan the summer months would be best, the reels both sound fine but can't give you advice on where sorry
+longsusan Hey best time to be over here in NJ for sharks would be June through september. My favorite times to fish are early and late in the run when the crowds arent bad, it can get crowded during peak times. Staying for the night or multiple nights would be expensive, you'd have to rent a house here at the shore, or stay at a local hotel (Im not familiar with the hotels, google it up, they'll likely be 200$/night). You could get creative and look into staying at a hotel in Atlantic City, a lot of the casinos have discounted suites/deals, however I'm unfamiliar with any of those.
+Sea-Money Fishing thanks for your help guys,much appreciated
Hey what kind of rig set up are u guys using all I can find is a 15 20 ft steel leader ones at the bait shops
We tie our own, its pretty simple, Just haywire twist to a hook/swivel. Typically use 12"-18" leader
That seems better cause I have been trying off island beach but the pre made leaders are just way to long to use and attempt to cast with just got to make one my self I guess instead of the premade stuff are you using any weights or floats to keep it right off bottom so it's not crab food lol ???
We'll use 5 or 6oz pyramids, no floats, if the crabs are around it can get frustrating, just bring lots of bait!
Have you guys had bites on anything other than bunker?
Yep, croaker kingfish bluefish etc, anything you can catch fresh will work well, even skate and dogfish
I love fishing that beach, nailed a estimated 350lbs rough tail there.
Nice video! it would be a dream for me to catch a shark haha
Do you use the whole bunker or just part of it? And how do you hook it on?
+conor27 Generally cut it into chunks, might get about 3 chunks per Bunker. If the Bunker is old I will throw it out whole but casting distance becomes an issue. We use large circle hooks and just hook the chunk through the back, leaving as much of the hook exposed as possible
alright thanks!
What happened to the fish your buddy had on at 11:46 The one that took out all the line?
+Officer Flynn It broke off :/ never saw it
damnnn
u put these sharks in water right
I live in nj I'm big with shark fishing are the brown sharks here this early?
Yes, theyre here, being caught up to long island already
The waters down LBI are very Sharkey merkey hardly see 5 feet in front of you.
You guys are awesome!!!!
do u know what causes the deformity, is it environmental?
Natural
What brand of rod did you use
FYI in new jersey you measure the length of a shark from nose to fork. Also sandbar and sandtiger sharks are a prohibited species to land in NJ and take photos with. You can't remove it from the water and broke federal regulations.
did the big fella land his? curious what it was
+Dalton Villnave nope it pulled the hook and was never seen
+Sea-Money Fishing ah. losing a big one and never knowing what it was is my biggest pet peeve. happened to me this ice season
yo help me out where was this I fish in Avalon
did that guy that was getting his reel smoked ever land that fish?
+Scott Pitts nope unfortunately he lost it.. hook pulled
+Sea-Money Fishing ya beacuse the idiot sat there trying to pull it up on the beach with the rod
what bait were you using man?
Where is this spot located
would a fin nor offshore be another option?
+Jack Farley yes
love the vids.
What pound test did you use
50-80lb braid
i went 2 time so far using bluefish and havent gotten a bite any tips?
RH421939 bluefish is good bait, where are you fishing? The sharks are thick this year they should be all up and down the jersey coast right now, youre probably fishing too shallow, Id check some other beaches that might have deeper water
been going to bay head
Where exactly is this?
Can you catch sharks like this in Maine?
Cole Baldwin Possibly, yes, you might find a stray at some point in the summer when the water is warmest. The Sandtigers can tolerate slightly colder water than the sandbars, typically you want around 70 degree water for both species but they can be found in waters as cool as 61-65 degrees, so if your water temps get up into the 60's or better yet 70's then you'd have a good shot at either a sandbar or sandtiger shark. Cape cod and other parts of massachusetts get decent numbers of both species when water temps allow, but generally they dont go any further north than the cape.
where in Sea Isle are you guys i have a house on 76 street
Im avoiding answering the exact "where" question haha, hope you understand. They swim the beaches though, all the beaches in new jersey actually, finding the right conditions will do you better than exact location if you were looking to get in on the action.
Nice video...get some bigger pliers! Haha
What were you using for bait
Fresh bunker from a shop called "the girls place" on 47, also had some frozen bunker, both produced sharks for us. Hope this helps!
