Shark Fishing off Marco and Naples.

[Garrett M]

Does anyone have any good rec. for shark fishing off shore in the Marco and Naples area?

We are outfitted with on a 27 Grady White with a hand full of powerful rods. We mostly do grouper fishing offshore at a lot of random hard bottom cheese hole spots and typically do well. Any rec would be good for tigers, bulls or any other large sharks...

Also,How far to go out to have hopes for Makos in my area?

I fish near Sarasota not Naples but i know theres really good shark fishing there i would try any of the artificial reefs or wrecks offshore or around the passes on a outgoing tide at night,Try to Catch bonita, Barracuda or anything oily and bloody and set a chum slick im shure u wont have a problem hooking up with big shark over there, as far as makos there not as common here but there around i would fish the deep water wrecks and springs 40 miles plus. in Feb- March when the waters cooler Theres been more makos each year by me in sarasota i know they caught some nice ones in the last two years
