Are you bringing her with you on your next trip? I can arrange for a Shark fishing trip when you get here. 2 El Nino events ago, I caught an 8 foot Lemon Shark near the end of February.
I was using my Okuma Pursuit rod which is only 4'6" but rated for 80lbs with the Okuma Catalina reel rigged with 30lb Trilene Big Game blue line and a 200lb steel leader with 16/0 hook chunked with 1/2 of a pacific makerel.
The Shark was close to 300lbs and only fought like a fish of 150lbs.
It only took 2 hrs to land. I started on the Pier in Port Hueneme and ended up having to land it on the beach. The shark was release just in time for me to leave so that I could catch my sportie boat at 4am. [cool]
