Bull Shark

Bull Shark Fishing!

Bull Sharks are powerful beautiful and delicious. Discard the fins and eat the shark. Asians must be crazy for causing the opposite.  The fins do nothing. Boil the fins down and you get tiny cartilaginous, rainbow hued transparent sperm like noodles sort of  , with zero flavor.  Five big $500 shark fins in one week couldn’t increase my libido. The meat however is awesome, white with excellent fresh flavor.  We are not going to kill one, no way. Just sayin

Bull sharks are a target species if you want it. Evenings not far from our lodge, we fish over certain rock reefs, drifting or slow trolling  live black skipjack tuna. Usually a tactic for Cubera Snapper, only difference is… change the light mono leader for a heavier wire one. Big Cubera are wise and nowadays heavy mono or wire leader may put them off biting. Bull Sharks don’t care, they bite aggressively and get hung on a hook easily. So powerful to fight standing up, you won’t likely bring one to the boat in under 45 minutes on 50lb tackle. You won’t want to do this twice. One bull shark is all a man could ever want. Another species to add to your list.
