Solo Shark Fishing | Sandbar Shark Catch and Release from the Beach | Longboat Key, FL

Join me on a solo land-based shark fishing trip along the beautiful beaches of Southwest Florida, near Longboat Key and Anna Maria Island. Armed with an 8000-size spinning reel, heavy tackle, and cut mullet as bait, I hook into a solid sandbar shark and bring it in from the surf for a safe release.

This video captures the full action — from bait setup to battle to a respectful release — all while fishing solo right off the beach. Whether you’re new to shark fishing or a seasoned angler, this is the kind of raw, on-the-sand excitement that defines Florida’s coastal fishing scene.

Location: Longboat Key / Anna Maria Island, Florida
Rod & Reel: Heavy setup with an 8000-size spinning reel
