Yes. We got into some nice sharks while we were chumming. Got one in the boat, one to the boat and lost about seven of them. We were using 40lb PowerPro line on Penn 320s and 4/0s. The bigger sharks (>6 feet) would fight us for about 20 minutes or so and then the line would break. I think their abbraisive skin wore through the line - especially from their tails when they would run. We needed longer leaders. After losing most of our hooks and wire, we fished the artificial reef nearby and caught sea bass, flounder, tautog and sea robin. We kept 3 big sea bass for dinner.
