California Sharks and Rays

Never use undersized hooks

First fish of the day (setup penn Spinfisher 850 with 80 lb samari braid on a 11 foot ugly stick)

Maybe 80 pound Batray

My best shark to date, could have been a world record to

Best Batray to date, pushing 120 lb, make a couple of nice baits don't you think?

A little southern California leopard shark

The biggest bait I have ever used in California, might be able catch a Cuda in Florida

Shovelnose Guitarfish, over the world record in weight

Big Leopard shark teeth
On 80 lb with about 15 lb drag they will have a few runs, but will be to the beach in under 3 minutes (I cast from shore so the bait is only out about 100 yards), the big batrays are another story, they can get above 200 lb and the 120 pounder fought for a good half hour and almost spooled me.
I really want to target the Leopard sharks from a kayak with 10 or 15 pound line, that would be a fun fight ![]()
