WHERE TO GO SHARKING
			Where to start fishing used to be a problem for us. Let's face it, basically the surf looks the same wherever you are with a few exceptions. I came across navagational maps when surfing the net and we started picking our spots by these (look on the links page). What we do is study the map of the area that we will be fishing and look for abrupt changes in the bottom terrain. This is the same as when you are bass fishing. Structure can be a dropoff, a jetty, a channel, bridge pilings, etc. Fish always seem to hold around these type places so try and locate some to fish.
					CUTS
					In this first example you can see that an area of deep water is cutting in toward the shore. The gradient lines show that the bottom drops off quicker in this area than on the surrounding areas. A place like this is a likely place to find a shark while feeding, either on the rising edge or crusing the bottom contours. This type of location is what we like to fish most often and we have done well fishing them. On the picture the red X is our position on the beach and the white X's are targeted bait locations.
						CHANNELS
							In this example we are showing a channel. Channel's are not found in our area very often that allow you to fish them from the beach. In the bays and sounds however there are both natural and man made. Fish will use these "highways" for travel and feeding. Fishing from a bridge or catwalk or taking a bait out with the kayak can be very productive. One thing to remember when fishing in a sound is that the current can be very strong and will reverse with the tidal changes, but this also aids greatly with bait deployment by the balloon method.
