Bonnet sharks

Does anyone know the best methods and baits to catch bonnet sharks.

Cut bait or 1/2 of a blue crab on the bottom in 5-20ft of water works best for me personally. Use at least a 60lb or bigger leader to keep them from popping off.


23 says you only need 20 baits for a day of fishing.

I had the most success using the bait Capt. Fritz mentioned fishing near oyster rakes close to the ocean and around inlets.

They tend to prefer shellfish, so crabs and shrimp work really well.
