What do i use for fishing for sharks of a pier?

Question

just a chunk of meat?

Answer 1

I have to agree with justin c , Bonita is a very good bait . I have also caught big sharks on live pin fish but the pin fish has to be big.i put it on a 10 ft steel leader rigged with a balloon about 3 feet from the bait .you don`t want the bait on bottom because a big stingray will get it .i use  menhaden oil for chum ,it makes a oil slick .it is fun to watch the ballon take off . i also like to surf fish for sharks ,you can land a pretty big shark with a penn 9500 ,plus you don`t have to deal with so many people.

Answer 2

well it depends on where you are.  Here in North west florida the best way is to get a Bonita from a bait shop its a type of fish closely related to the tuna, its very bloody, shark love them.   take a knife and cut out a big piece like 6 inches long 2 thick.  then have a 10 foot steel leader attached to the hook.

Good baits- mullet,bonito,spanish macks,rays,blue runners,lady fish,eel,.........!

Dont worry about the blood it is the oily fish that works good for you.For small shark thread on a few menhaden and make a few cuts on them to release some of their oily scent.
