Welcome to North Carolina Shark Fishing
Saturday, November 1st, 2008Hello everyone, welcome to North Carolina Shark Fishing, sister site of Texas Shark Fishing.
I have been fishing for sharks on the NC coast for a few years now and will share some of my experience with you on this site.
Before I get too ahead of myself, let me give you the background story. I’m originally from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and have been fishing since I’ve been big enough to hold a rod and reel. In PA, I used to fish for Trout, Steelhead, Panfish, and big Catfish. I did pretty good. I found myself constantly trying new methods to catch more and bigger fish.
So it’s only natural that during family vacations to the Outer Banks of North Carolina, I started fishing in the ocean. It didn’t take me long to find my way to some of NC’s awesome piers. While fishing one night, I watched a pier fisherman land a 4 foot shark. I haven’t been the same since. The next year on vacation, I caught my own.
Flash foreword, I live in Wilmington, NC, the atlantic ocean is my backyard, I own more fishing gear than my girlfriend thinks I should, and I still love shark fishing!
