This is everything you need to make your rig for shore fishing for Leopard Sharks. I use eight-ounce weights or ten-ounce weights depending on what the current is doing. Also, use a sliding sinker. I use sleeves to crimp the wire to the hook and swivel.
Just remember to size your hook to your bait and the line to your target. Also, you need to have some good pliers for cutting wire and for crimping the sleeves. Make sure you use a set of pliers or wire crimpers that are heavy duty. For line, a lot of fishermen recommend around pound braided line that attaches to a strong leader. Use pound test AFW American fishing wire.
Grab some seven strand Berkley Standard Sleeves, size A4. Then take your pound Berkley Swivel and put that through the eye of it. Also, by now you should have a sleeve on there and a swivel. Now put the wire back through the sleeve and feed it up about two inches past and take the slack out of it. Now you should have created an eye on there.
Next, take the tag in and run it back through the sleeve for the last time. Now what I have here is the swivel with the wire going through the sleeve, through the swivel, back up through this sleeve and then looped around. You go through the three times. One, two, three.
You see the tag in there. Also, use your notch in the pliers to crimp your sleeve. Imagine this is your fishing line coming off your rod. This is your mainline. You want a reel in the line until you feel the swivel hit and then you want to drag it back. A tried and true way to catch a leopard shark is with squid.
During the annual breeding season, schools of these sharks move from deeper water into nearshore shallower water. Fertilization is internal. The type of reproduction is called aplacental viviparity or ovoviviparity.
After a ten to twelve-month gestation, seven to thirty-six pups about They are independent at birth. But usually stay in shallow bays and estuaries before venturing out into deeper ocean waters.
Female leopard sharks have been observed giving birth in a variety of habitats along the California coastline from eel grass to sand bars and the open ocean. Leopard sharks congregate by size and sex in large nomadic schools. The schools appear and disappear within a few hours. Schools follow the tide as they feed, moving closer to shore as the tide comes in and then swimming away before it recedes. In addition to feeding, the movement may be influenced by temperature, salinity and amount of dissolved oxygen.
Large schools have even been observed in the surf zone. They are also known to form schools with California round rays and with sevengill sharks, and smoothhound sharks. The latter are close relatives. Leopard sharks are seasonally abundant in central and northern California bays and estuaries but leave for the open coast in the winter months. In Southern California, leopard sharks occur year-round along the open coast, particularly among kelp forests, rocky reefs, and sandy beach areas.
The red blood cells of leopard shark are smaller than those of the closely related smoothound sharks. It is believed that this may allow the leopard shark to absorb more oxygen from the water, an advantage in estuaries and other shallow environments that have lower oxygen levels.
The spots and saddles that give them their common name camouflage these sharks as they swim along the ocean floor. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife closely manages the leopard shark fishery within state waters. Use of gill nets in waters typically inhabited by these sharks is prohibited. Recreational fishery for leopard sharks is open year-round and coast-wide to diverse and shore-based anglers. The fishery is open to boat-based anglers year-round in designated areas only.
Outside these areas, it is open seasonally between January and June. Leopard sharks may only be taken or possessed in waters less than The daily bag and possession limit is three fish with a minimum size limit of 91 cm 36 in.
