Hot bite and happy crew! Summer fishing on the Bolivar Peninsula in Texas brought RuthAnn and their crew out for an evening of land-based shark fishing with Gulf Coast Yaker's Land Based Shark Fishing.

Gulf Coast Yaker's Land Based Shark Fishing always aims to provide the best experience for our anglers, whether they're seasoned shark hunters or first-timers looking for a thrill. With our gear rigged and ready, we employed a mix of surf fishing, bait casting, and bottom fishing techniques to maximize our chances. The Bolivar Peninsula's waters are known for their diversity, making it an ideal spot for these methods. We worked the surf zone, casting out beyond the breakers and setting up some bottom rigs to cover different depths.
