I catch 50 pound Sharks on 8 pound test line, using just shrimp for bait. Of course you have to have wire leader on your rig so as to not get bit off. Bonnet sharks will take long fast runs similar to that of Bonefish. Blacktips will jump and thrash. They can get up to several Hundred pounds.
People are surprised to see such large sharks in shallow water.
I lose a lot of red fish to these large sharks. I have never heard of anyone being bitten by a shark on an Everglades fishing trip. The WEB Fishing Info. Inc. All rights reserved worldwide.
