I used to kill small makos when I lived back east as well...since moving to California we will not even bait one that is under 400 lbs..they get so much bigger it is embarrassing to kill the small one's. either way good luck with your tourney nothing but best wishes for success!

From a resource perspective, you are better off killing the smaller sharks than you are killing the large, mature females.

Having this many tournaments the same weekend just reduces entries in all of them except for the two that follow the same checkouts and timeframes. BB and WW. I think I will go shark trolling this weekend the entire 20-50 fathom curve will be one giant slick. Lol

So - As the Weather gets better and the Tournament grows closer, I am excited to announce some updates to the Shark Challenge!

Shark Challenge 2015 or as I prefer.. The "Are You Man Enough Shark Challenge 6..." June 11-14th NASCAR Style Start (in order of entry) from Buoy 2 off Sandy Hook. Teams fish their choice of shift(s) Friday Morning, Friday Night, Saturday Morning and or Saturday night.

We have had such an overwhelming response that it actually caused some logistic issues. Believe me a great problem to have.

The GREAT NEWS is that we will now be able to accommodate as many teams as enter and I can FINALLY open up the 28 foot and smaller division.

The 28 foot and under portion of the tournament with different price points will likely end up it's own tournament within the tournament! NASCAR Start for 28 and under too so if you are thinking about entering- register with your deposit and hold your starting position.

The start and finish for all shifts is unchanged, but we are moving the weigh-in/Check-in station to Baker's Marina on the Bay in the Highlands. Just about a mile up the shore line and we will be able to accommodate much more volume. The more volume the more PRIZE $$$!

They are also providing us with an awesome dockside space for the teams and their guests for the big weigh-in and award party on Sunday.

All the info and even some past videos are on the website- www.sharkchallenge2015.com Check them out when you get a chance.

Again, good luck to all who enter and I hope to see you there!

Questions? I am always available! give me a call...
