Going surf fishing in Florida, Indian rocks beach, Going shark fishing alone advice?

I will be going alone as of now i have there from feb 5th to the 12th and I plan on surf fishing everyday for little stuff and mainly sharks. Any advice on how to handle the sharks since I will be alone? Should I reel it in as far as I can and when i feel its fairly beached put pole down/in holder then pull him up by tail? I will be meeting up with couple guys for a day or two that shark fish his name is Tbone on here. But just wondering how dangerous/dumb it would be to try it alone or is it really not that big of deal? I am an experienced fisherman from here in WI I have fished big cats alone before so Im not just some random person trying to catch sharks i have caught bonnetheads every time i go! so again advice please!
yes catch and release and glad to hear I can trust Tbone lol

Shark fishing is 99% safe for most anyone, (esp when you are fishing from shore).

Sharks aren’t the “sharpest sticks in the shed”, (if you know what I mean). If you bait and chum them correctly and only stay in knee deep surf 99% of the time, fishing for them, (from shore), will be totally safe.

Just make sure not to get “rubbed” or bit while beaching the shark. If I were you I’d purchase a Gaff and a metal baseball bat………

I’m HOPING your going to be practicing “catch and release”?? Esp on Nurse, Lemons, Hammerheads, Etc. If you DO intend to keep the shark don’t let it go to waste- Shark need to be “blooded” and “brined” or they taste like shite. It’s always a good idea to ICE DOWN a freshly caught shark immed. This process sends the blood to the extremities and helps in the “bleeding” process.

Needless to say, I would be slightly more concerned about “meeting” someone I didn’t know to go Shark fishing. (Although, T-bone is a good Joe- no offense to T-bone.) Ya just never know……..

I was born and lived in North Florida (up until about 8-9 years ago). We always considered Shark a “bycatch” while searching for Redfish, Macks, SeaTrout, Flounder, Etc. Small Shark are rather common and were a “last resort” for a fish dinner…(lol).

Now-a-days, medium-larger sized Shark aren’t nearly as abundant…………and some can easily die when beached for a length of time. Please don’t “flippantly” kill a large animal without , at least, eating it.

Hope this helps ya somehow. Good luck on your trip.
