Florida Shark Fishing Setup
Hello! I have a trip to Amelia Island near Jacksonville in June planned.
I am looking purchase a shark fishing setup to target sharks in the > 6 foot range. As well as an additional setup for targeting whiting, pompano, and reds soaking bait.
I have around a $1000 budget for both setups, but am more invested in the quality/durability of the shark setup.
I am currently looking at the
PENN Spinfisher VII 8500 reel
+
Offshore angler ocean master 12’ heavy rod
For the shark setup. But I’m open to get something else in that range or a bit more if it would be better.
I’m undecided on the gear for the smaller setup.
I have a 6000 series Penn Fierce III and an Offshore Angler Brawler Trophy 11 foot MH rod already, but am looking for another, upgraded, similar spec setup, as I will have a lot of family there I would like to be able to fish as well.
If anyone has any input into gear i would greatly appreciate it!
Thank you!
