Targeting Sharks at Island Beach State Park

[hoodfisherman]

Heading to Island Beach State Park or the Jersey shore soon to target some sharks. The plan is the fish dawn and dusk and try to catch some bait fish in between.

This is my first time trying this I’m a fresh water guy. Need all the help I can get. My plan is to get a decent medium Penn rod or something medium/ decent size from dicks or Walmart. 50-80lb braid, a heavy mono, some steel leader, decent size circle hooks, and some 3-5 oz eights and set up some basic Carolina rigs with cut bait.

This is all information I’ve gained off my own internet research. I’ve done some charters in the past but everything is handed to you there. Any tips and tricks and advice anyone is willing to give is so greatly appreciated! Thanks everyone in advanced.
