Surf Fishing Florida, Catching a BIG BLACKNOSE SHARK! at New Smyrna Beach

Surf Fishing Florida, Catching a Big Blacknose Shark at New Smyrna Beach. We missed 2 Blacktip Sharks but at least we caught the big Blacknose Shark. The Blacknose Sharks don't get very big but they are very strong for there size. They only get about 4' long but this one was a fat blacknose and we caught him on a chunk of Whiting. My wife only caught 1 Whiting for the whole day and we did not have any good shark bait after we caught the Blacknose Shark. The conditions at New Smyrna Beach were very calm, Which is unusual for the East Coast of Florida in December. Thanks for Watching!!

Lovely video…, in uk i use mustad demon circle hooks and a 3 foot home made T bar… hooks fall out 👍👍

The pliers I was using were small and not the heavy duty lineman’s pliers I normally use. I thought I could getaway with using the smaller pliers on the Blacknose sharks but I will be using the heavy duty pliers from now on! Thanks for Watching!!

[@HuyFishin]

your shark fishing episodes have been addicting lol

[@koreanfishingwife8766]

We are looking to get some Big Blacktips over 6’ this year but first we need to get to the beach. The conditions have been really bad the last several weeks! Thanks for Watching!!

Fun, Fun, Fun!!

Even though we missed the 2 BlacktIps it was a good trip!

[@Scale575]

What are you thoughts on crushing the barb and using a de hooker for faster safer release

[@koreanfishingwife8766]

I have gotten better with the dehooker on the big Blacktips but I was actually using a small set of pliers and not my heavy duty lineman’s pliers on this Blacknose. I thought about filing down the Owner Super Mutu barbs but they are very effective for keeping the baits on the hook so I left them alone. I also think the Barb on the Mutu hooks are helping the big Blacktips getaway when they jump and spin 10-15 times like most of them have recently been doing!

[@davevalente]

How many trips would you like to have this year? Do you keep track of the number of sharks you hook in a year?

[@koreanfishingwife8766]

Depending on the conditions we will make between 50-75 trips per year. With our main shark setups we normally average about a 90% catch rate on a solid pulldown/hookup with the big Blacktips, But in 2021 it was probably closer to 30% We also missed more Blacktips in 2020 than we normally do, We are looking forward to doing better in 2022. Thanks again for Watching!!
