Damn you got me!

I forgot about swellsharks which are local catsharks live in the same depth range and have very similar coloration. I always thought swellsharks were dogfish.

Dude you know your local sharks.

Been meaning to ask you: do you make your spider sinkers or do you buy them? Just curious: We used to use them in Texas and I've got a good easy method for making your own mold, for casting them in the six to ten ounce range.

i buy them. found a supplier with decent prices and shipping. i can pm you the link if you want. and i'd be interested in the mold.

i target big game in the surf and sharks are a common catch. we've caught leopards, swellsharks (very common outside of deep harbors in early winter, especially when the bugs are crawlin) , soupfin, thresher (off piers), horn sharks, smooth hounds, angels, a crocodile shark, and i know a couple guys who don't bat an eye at landing 7gills in the surf.
