I think Eric h rig up here is even better than a pulley rig no sinker for the fish to feel when taking off with the bait

you don't have to take my word for it. but it cant hurt to try and it works! and also no sinker for a shark to feel no resistance witch means you have a chance at those short striking sharks too that give you a nice big tug and then gone like a ghost not gonna happen if you do this.

yes you have to fallow it sometimes but for me the bite comes within 5 to 10 mints of hitting the water mostly because the presentation is so natural. There are times when you have to try different spot because yes the up current does bring it back at times but that is why you cut the fins if you get far enough out there the current seems to just drag it out further and further and I forgot to mention you have to cut off the fins and tail fin to prevent it from spinning on the cast and decreasing your distance also.
and it douse work good also in backs of sandy bays or coves so the key again is a very aerodynamic bait and a far cast to get past that uphill current so to speak. If the bait douse come back I just take a short 15 20 yard walk down and try another spot.
And again I think this is the most natural way you cant present your bait to the shark.

Hey guys just wanted to share good technique I have acquired a while back on fishing sharks in the surf. So first of all this works best exclusively for the out going tide when the food starts moving out with the tide the sharks fallow right so What I Have been doing is taking preferred hook and size attaching it to about 5.5 foot of heavy rub leader I use 130# strait to a swivel and to your main line and basically cutting just the tail fins and pectoral fins of a mack or bonita to make it more aerodynamic then hook the mack through the head or between the eyes and basically fly line it out ass on a long cast as far as you can and this is where the out going tide comes in to play! then just start feeding out line and let the tide take your bait out to the sharks. For me I keep feeding line till ether I get a take and you will know trust me or till I almost run out of line.
This way you cover allot of water and your reaching out to those sharks that stay off the surf and at the same time your avoiding most Bat rays. So far I have caght only big leopards with it but its only a matter of time.

Watsup guys I have been fishing for shark in the surf and piers for a long long time but have yet to catch my first soupfin. Any tips or advice would be awesome? Not sure if its the rig or not but I'm guessing that slide downs would be the ticket?
