1. Find 'Em - Lucky for shark anglers, sharks aren't usually too hard to find. There are over 370 species of sharks roaming the waters from the polar oceans to tropical seas and from the deepest canyons to just beyond the surf line. In fact, these fish are so prevalent that most fishermen don't go looking for sharks instead they let the sharks find them. Throw out a bucket of chum almost anywhere in the world's oceans and it won't be long before sharks arrive. However, to find the biggest sharks, anglers look for the bait that these fish like most. Contrary to popular mythology, sharks aren't feeding machines that swim around the ocean eating everything in site. In fact, according to Dr. Samuel Gruber at the University of Miami (www.miami.edu/sharklab), sharks may only feed once or twice a week and when they are full they will not eat again until they are hungry. On top of that, Gruber's research with lemon sharks shows that larger sharks eat less than small ones. So, to find big sharks, anglers must understand the patterns that these fish follow and the areas where they feed. Chris Deaver, author of the Shark Fishing Handbook (www.tx-sharkfishing.com), recommends fishing 24-hour stretches for big sharks. "Once you figure out the fish¿s feeding pattern, then you can catch them again and again," he says.
