no charters that i know of, there is too much risk involved getting insurance would be next to impossible. the best advice i could give would be to watch youtube to see what guys are using for gear, and read a lot, join spearboard.com and lurk around read as much as you can. there are a few books also. learn the tides, they are crucial. most importantly, find a buddy to go with.

With all that blood in the water, do you get many visits from sharks?

not up here. when we were in florida we had a bull shark try to steal a barracuda off my friends line but we scared it off. nothing up here yet though, we saw a 6' blue shark yesterday about a mile from where we were trying to get mahi, but they are basically harmless. my friend saw a 4' mako earlier this year but it wasnt attracted to him it swam away as soon as it saw him. sharks arent really a big problem, most of the time if you swim at them they'll take off, a good jab with the tip of your gun if they get too close and they are gone. the only shark that ever gets me worried is a white, which we have plenty of. they are scary because they are ambush predators that hunt large mammals for food, we look alot like a seal floating on the surface from the shark's perspective and if they attack you you'll have basically no time to react. so yeah, the thought crosses my mind, but if they want you your dead it doesn't matter what you do. i just put it in the back of my head and plan to go down fighting if it ever happens. how cool would it be to be the guy who died with his knife buried in the face of a 15' white pointer after it took him down? lol probably not as cool as living but hey whatever, im not going to let it keep me from doing what i love.

Totally understand! I used to surf some when I lived in San Diego and it was always in the back of my mind too, but like you said, it didn't change my mind to do the thing I liked to do...I like riding m'cycles and the "sharks" I have to watch for are the teenage little chickies with their cell phones jammed in their ears while they're trying to drive...yup, I catch your drift.

I am envious of your gonads sir, your sport is much more dangerous than mine, ar least the sharks kill you for a better reason than sending a "lyk omg txt" lol

that looks a hell of a lot more fun than line fishing for trigger.

Very cool stuff!

edit: how does barracuda taste? And grouper wasn't in season?
