It's been 8 months since I caught a shark. I hate reading Steve and Tom's post. ;D
It is pretty f@cked up how we can get sucked into a sport with such a low percentage success rate. Going on something like a dozen straight biteless skunks since my last 7s. But I want 100" so I will keep trying to touch the sun. How often are you getting out?
Been a couple years for me
I think I just made a post about this. Fishing 9 months and catching 1.
We've put a couple on the sand this year, but we've missed a bunch! Hopefully gonna get out this coming Thursday
I've gotten back into it this last week after not targeting sharks all fall and early winter except for some bay leos (not as exciting but it's nice to be able to count on fishable conditions every time!) I've been trying some new spots up and down the coast for variety's sake; no luck yet but some promising signs. It is a little annoying to only be able to determine if a spot's biting or not by sitting there for hours in the same spot! That plus the distractions of all the other local species that have been biting!

Taking advantage of what's biting really is the way to go. We live in a region with so much to offer, it's crazy to force a bite that's not happening when so many other things are possible.
That said, my last 10 trips have been probably 8 for big sharks, 1 for critters, 1 for perch. I'll be throwing in a lot of kayak fishing this spring though.
