The Thrill Of Alabama Shark Fishing

By Eleanor Thompson


If you are an adrenalin junkie, then Alabama shark fishing is the sport for you. Cheating death or dismemberment as you go mano a mano with one of man's most fearsome foes provides a thrill that is unmatched by anything else. Catch your first and you will be hooked for life.

The Gulf shores of Alabama and the Florida pan handle offer some of the richest pickings for collecting cartilaginous beasts. This is a good area for Blacktips, Spinner Sharks and Remora Shark Sucker Fish.

The Remora, tiny by shark standards, is between one and three feet long. Despite its small stature, it puts up a good fight once you have caught one. Spinners tend to be less than nine feet long; they are not good for eating. Blacktips average six feet in length and weigh over a hundred pounds.

One of your first tasks is catching the right bait to attract your quarry. This will probably be an eel, stingray or tuna. Casting it far enough away is your next challenge. You should aim for about fifteen feet outward towards the sea, where the water is about knee deep.

Once the animal has started running away with your bait, prevailing wisdom among experienced anglers is to count to ten before setting the hook. The ensuing battle can take as little as forty-five minutes or it may last well into the night. After you've reeled your opponent in closer to shore, the general code of behavior stipulates that you take a photograph and release it.

Following the photo call, you and your friends have the dubious task of removing the hook and releasing your catch back to sea. The challenge here is for all concerned to retain their limbs. Take care not to latch onto the gills as they are easily torn. Read more about: Alabama Shark Fishing
