Chesapeake Bay Sharks???

ste6168 · 08-06-2009, 07:52 PM

Whats up everyone, I just recently moved to Annapolis, right on the Chesapeake Bay, and I was wondering if there are any sharks worth targeting in the bay. I have fished for sharks down around myrtle beach before while on vacation, but would love to do it here. If the Chesapeake in/around Annapolis is not somewhere I can get them, how far do I need to travel to find them? I am originally from Pittsburgh, PA and I mainly targeted Flatheads so Sharks really attract me as a species to target. I have watched some youtube videos of surf fishing for sharks and it looks like a blast (although flatheads will always hold a special place in my heart, haha)!

If I can get them here, let me know what the best bait, rigs, and tackle would be. If not, let me know where I need to get to to find them! Thanks in advance!

Really? 20 views and not one response. If you don't know anything at least fill me in. If you on this board you obviously fish for, or have once, fished for sharks... come on boys. I am not new to fishing for big fish, I have the equipment (or am willing to purchase it) and will not harm the species, CPR (catch, photo, & release) all the way!

Closest place for you to go is OC Maryland. Bay does not have them unless you go to the bay/bridge tunnel.
