Can anyone give me the best way to catch some sandsharks at sandbridge, I have caught them before between the first and second Island with boat rod using a liter and about 8 oz,. of lead and cut up spot or croaker, no boat anymore so would like to catchem off the pier they don't have to be monsters just fun. If you use a spinnig reel, do you leave the spool open and let it take it before you flip the bail. I imagine if you don't leave the bail open you could loose your rod, I sat a rod down Friday at lynnhaven with a piece of squid, just happened to look up as a skate almost pulled the hole rig over. thanx for the info
