Got my first shark over 5 feet by myself finally. Got some good gear and a kayak and that made all the difference.

      @BradleyM what your saying makes complete sense, thats the best method i have ever tried is judging the bottom by the waves, i was just wondering if there was another ...more way, thanks man

      @seaturtles years and know the general distances. But the waves are how I judge it so after the second set of bigger swells I drop. Hope that was at least a little ...more clear haha.

      @seaturtles it's hard to give an exact description, it mostly goes by feel of the wave action the waves typically swell over the bars and flatten in the troughs. ...more I also have swam at the beach for...
