Shark season

Hi folks,

What time of the year are there the most inshore sharks in the keys? Mainly lemons on the flats at night and the chance of a bull in any deeper channel? Is there a best and worst time?

Thanks a lot!

There seems to be a lot of sharks around most of the Keys, but more info would help.   What Key will you be fishing out of, and do you have a preference between ocean or gulf side?

Hi, last year on holiday we stayed at Conch Key and Long Key. Our favourite part of the holiday was in the evenings when we could have BBQs in our back yard under the amazing night skies you guys have, with a couple of lines cast, or paddled, out.

It was very social fishing and great fun!  It would be a shame to plan our next holiday and there be no sharks.

 Haha! No way hooked a couple of large ones, it didn't end well!! (Although I made sure I didn't leave a load of line in the sea)
 
To see a bull shark would be pretty cool!

I got to pat a 10'er on the head from a kayak last year...The phrase that comes to mind? "two hours of self-abuse".

I was sore the next day.
