One of our goals is to bring in people who feel the same intensity and passion for catching sharks,people with fire in there veins for the sport we practice. We don't recruit or campaign for new members we look and carefully watch for the INTENSE ,WE LOOK FOR THE PASSIONATE,WE LOOK FOR THE DIAMONDS IN THE ROUGH,,shark fishermen who are working hard at catching big sharks on there own ,,,we watch them from afar and then we reach out to them ,if they respond they become members of the shark club a dedicated group of fishermen who APPRECIATE our history,RESPECT our accomplishments and are WILLING to WORK HARD to become some of the best in the sport. If you are not intense or passionate about catching sharks then this is not the club for you-it's that simple.Yeah we have Fun,and we enjoy the simple pleasure of fishing without any pressure of competition. Yes we have lives outside the club with families that require our financial and emotional support/attention,children that need our love and parents that need our care,BUT we are always on the hunt for those that are sincere in there love for the sport of land-based shark fishing and are in it for the long haul and not just trying to make a name for themselves by catching a few big sharks while aligned with the club .A true Club member has to care about protecting the club and those in it .You have to feel a bond to a community of like minded fishermen and respect one another. Once you are part of the club you should feel a certain commitment to the club and be willing to fight for it's survival,,it may mean you have to SACRIFICE a little for the well being of others.Real club members don't mind giving of themselves for the benefit of the entire club-it's called being selfless. This club has some members who are upset with others they have had words with ,my job here is to quiet the fires , restore order,bring back into focus what our goals are ,and give a little direction to those that have strayed away .Sometimes we have friends we enjoy fishing with more than others so yes there are groups inside the club and Teams that unite to fish tournaments but that should NEVER be an excuse to create disharmony among shark club members. Fishing with your group or Team should never be a reason to create rumors or gossip about others in the club.In Tournaments I have a shark fishing Team ,,a group of friends I fish tournaments with but my ULTIMATE ALLIANCE IS TO THE CLUB ,and I never forget that,so please DO NOT BE THE PERSON that wants to break up or separate people away from the club. ANYONE who is hell-bent on destroying what we have worked so hard to create will not be a member for long. As President of the club my job is to give the club direction and my purpose is to keep the UNITY AMONG MEMBERS and Defend the integrity of the South Florida Shark Club so I hope you understand that we work to foster a sense of brotherhood among members. Some are mad at me because of some things I have said at one time or another and to those I sincerely apologize . My intense nature and passion for for the sport means that my intentions are often times misunderstood ,again try and understand how difficult it is to keep everyone happy .I will try to point out some very important things in what I write here. I will not hold back or mince words.Being the President of the shark club carries a heavy burden a meaningful responsibility to make things right when problems of this sort arise.One of our main goals is helping create better, more intelligent and respectful shark fishermen that the rest of the fishing community can be proud of .We don't want to be portrayed as bunch of thugs that have no regard for the laws or for decency . We don't want fishermen that want to create a circus of our sport,we don't need fishermen that don't want to promote conservation of sharks .We do not want fishermen that go on a public forum to display large dead sharks caught the night before and butchered FOR NO GOOD REASON. Those that acted that in the past way have changed there ways ,and have adapted out of respect for the club ,out of respect for themselves ,and out of a Realization that it made no sense to act that way ,so for that WE ARE GRATEFUL.We are grown men we need to act like grown men and if someone upsets you ,have the courage to call them and explain that you feel upset,wronged, hurt ,disrespected ,misunderstood,or whatever it is that you want to tell them --PLEASE CALL THAT PERSON AND TELL THEM. I apologize if I have hurt someones feelings by something I said or wrote that ruffled some feathers,but I am not perfect, and I cannot make everyone happy all the time .I fulfill many roles including being President of the shark club, administrator of the website,organizer of the BHC and a owner of two separate business's so my time is very limited and I cannot catch every fire before it starts .I cannot listen to every rumor about someone that has feelings hurt . We don't have any AX murderers in this club we don't have any Cannibals that are gonna eat you alive because you want an explanation about something that was said. Don't text ,don't start gossip ,instead give them a call,or set up a meeting with that person face to face ,have a civilized conversation and find a resolution --- SQUASH the PROBLEM and MOVE FORWARD. That is how we should ALL RESOLVE OUR DIFFERENCES inside the club if we truly care about the clubs survival and the integrity of it's members.Our sport is under constant attack so we MUST UNITE and stand together to combat external forces rather then fall apart within the ranks of our club members. You'll stand up for your grand ma right ,but you won't stand up for your partners ;your shark fishing buddies that will be there when that monster shark drags your ass in the surf ??Come on Men ,Stand up and be counted ,stand up and remember why you became a member in the first place!! Having one of the oldest and still existing shark clubs left in the world means something VALUABLE ,so learn to conduct yourself like part of a significant organization that has benefitted a lot of people. We have a website that has helped a lot of fishermen starting out in Land-Based shark fishing so defend it ,defend your sport ,defend your right to fish because there are groups out there that want to take away that right and if we don't unite to stop them ,then don't cry when your right is lost. Learn to value your alliance to this passionate hardcore group of outstanding shark fishermen.I don't know any soft mushy shark fishermen --I know hard ass tough shark fishermen and those are the ones I want next to me when I hook that 14 ft 8 inch 1500 pound pregnant Hammerhead shark.Toughen up boys get over the bullshit and step into the ring if you still have what it takes. I have lost acquaintances that I thought were friends because they misunderstood my intensity/passion because they thought it was disrespect.They were mistaken ,they misunderstood my HEART ,my PURPOSE, my REASON. I am about HARD WORK , SACRIFICE ,and CREATING UNITY among club members and those in the LBSF community. . If you know me you know I fight for all of us ,i fight for the sport ,I fight for the club ,i fight for fishermen in the sport and I fight to have soldiers that are willing to fight the GOOD FIGHT.Thank You .]]> SOUTH FLORIDA SHARK CLUB MEMBERSHIP INFO, NEWS, AND CURRENT EVENTS william https://www.southfloridasharkclub.com/community/south-florida-shark-club-membership-info-news-and-current-events/hardcore-sfsc-shoutout---time-to-regroup/ 2015-South Florida Shark Club -Sharker of the Month Winners https://www.southfloridasharkclub.com/community/south-florida-shark-club-membership-info-news-and-current-events/2015-south-florida-shark-club--sharker-of-the-month-winners/ Tue, 03 Feb 2015 22:08:10 +0000 South Florida Shark Club Sharker of the Month(January 2015) JANUARY 2015 -DEVIN KANHAI 8 foot 8 inch Bull Shark Devin Kanhai and Shannon Bustamante both SFSC members won the 3rd Place Biggest Shark and 2nd Place Biggest Shark in this years Blacktip Challenge Shark Tournament.Devin's shark was longer in length at 8 ft 8 inch and is the winner of the South Florida Shark Club "Sharker of The Month" for January.

This event is open to anyone who wants to participate all you have to do is notify me of your group size and the names of the anglers fishing.We will have 3 cash prizes for the biggest sharks caught during the weekend event.Anyone that wants to compete during the weekend event can enter the pool by donating $20 per angler competing.Money will be awarded divided in three parts 50% to first place,30% to second place and 20% to the third place winner.The total money collected will be given out as prizes.The awards for the Fish Categories will be Certificates/trophies.
