Sixgill Shark
The Sixgill Shark is a deep-water shark species that offers a unique and challenging fishing experience for adventurous anglers. Found in deeper waters along both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of the United States, from North Carolina down to Florida and off the coast of California, this prehistoric-looking shark is a powerful predator. Anglers are drawn to the Sixgill Shark due to its impressive size, powerful fighting ability, and the rarity of the opportunity to target such a unique species.
Sixgill Shark Fishing in San Diego
San Diego offers a unique opportunity to target sixgill sharks relatively close to shore. The deep submarine canyons off the San Diego coastline create an ideal habitat for these deep-water predators. While present year-round, the cooler months, from late fall through early spring, tend to be more productive as the sharks may move into shallower waters. Prime locations include the La Jolla and Coronado Canyons. A well-equipped boat is essential, and a good depth finder is crucial for locating the canyon edges and drop-offs. Chumming is highly recommended to attract the sharks, and heavy tackle is a must due to their size and power. Keep in mind that sixgill sharks are a sensitive species, so practice responsible catch-and-release techniques. Shelter Island is a popular launch point with good access to the open ocean. Be sure to check local regulations regarding shark fishing before heading out.
