The last week of July and into August 2009 we will be traveling throughout the state of Florida in our 32 foot SHARK CLUB RV doing a statewide 2 week monster shark hunt that will start on the west coast on Marco Island and we'll fish our way north all the way to the Florida panhandle and then we will roll east to Jacksonville beach and fish our way south to end in our backyard the "American Riviera" Miami Beach(south beach).To devote a complete summer and shark fish the entire state of Florida has been a lifelong dream for me and my brother Jorge since we were teenagers catching our first sharks from the South Beach pier in the 70's.Later in life i saw the surfing classic "ENDLESS SUMMER " and the dream became an obsession that i knew could be done.Now as an older man with the same dream and the shark fever as strong as ever in my blood the moment has come to make it a reality.
We will leave with a small group of friends and shark club members and we look forward to meeting new people and making many friends on the road .This road trip is the culmination of many years as a land based shark fisherman who has always traveled in search of the best shark fishing spots Florida.In forty years of shark fishing no one person or groups of people have logged the miles that we have in search of the biggest sharks in our state .It is with great pride that we announce this epic road trip and welcome ANYONE !!!that wants to fish with us at some point during the journey to sign up.We will bring along a kayak, and a 12 foot aluminum jon boat to deploy our baits and fish for fresh bait .We will start our trip with two large coolers of frozen bait but need anyone who will be fishing with us at any point to please help with whatever local fresh bait is available.We plan to fish one night at each spot we choose but more if the spot proves to be HOT!!!
We will be taking video and pictures of our adventure and posting on this and other websites on a daily basis.Our primary goal is to Map the best land-based shark fishing spots in Florida, to promote catch and release shark fishing and to shed positive light on our growing sport which is many times misunderstood and misconstrued by the general public.
