They don’t jump, but will break the surface of the water as they try to bite at the line as it runs across their back. Most of my Lemon Shark fishing will be done in less than three feet of water. It’s hard to believe that such a large shark will be swimming around in shallow water. Lemon sharks run from four to seven feet long and weight from 60 to two hundred pounds. Lemon Sharks prowl the shallow of Biscayne Bay. Hang on because this shark is very fast and pulls hard. You will see the dorsal fin as it breaks the surface of the water, and watch as your bait gets swallowed. Also while fishing for Black Tip sharks, when the conditions are right you will see these sharks tracking the bait on the surface over a one hundred yards away just by the scent of the bait. I have seen these sharks jump as many as six to eight times. All within seconds later jump and spin again. I have seen some of these sharks jump as high as ten feet in the air while spinning four to five times before they land. They both fight alike usually jumping several times as soon as they feel the hook. Both are very similar, but a Black Tip on the anal fin is what distinguishes the two apart. We catch both Black Tip and Spinner Sharks. They have a pretty copper tint with a cream colored lightning bolt pattern on their sides, and of course the black tips on their fins. I want to start with Black Tip Sharks because they are the best and most exciting shark to fish for. Let me give you a brief description of what shark fishing is like. Conditions have to be right, and when they are this can be a nice change from the flats.The inshore shark fishing in Miami and in the shallow waters of Biscayne Bay is absolutely amazing! There are several species of sharks that can be caught here. When fish are spotted, you take a wide circle and proceed close under trolling motor power. When a good weed line is spotted I usually run a good distance away keeping an eye on the weeds for something unusual.

It usually consists of running to particular markers and then looking for weed lines. Tripletails use the buoys, ropes, markers, or whatever other structure they are on to get you wrapped around or broken off.įishing for tripletail is unique in itself. Hooking them is the easy part, keeping them on the line is the problem. They may seem like an easy target at first, but they take full advantage of their surroundings.

Tripletail will eat almost any bait you can get in front of them.

They can be found hanging out under crab trap buoys, markers, and just about anything else that floats. Tripletails are one of the strangest looking and best eating fish in the Gulf.
