Once the water temp hits 70 degrees, the sharks move to warmer waters.........

What? once the water cools off the Bulls,Sandbars,and Sandtigers show up. All 3 are great fighters...Sandbars and sandtigers are protected(no keep species) Bulls urinate threw their skin(as most sharks do) so they are full of urea and are not palletable...But they all put up a great fight....Good luck and PS we have caught some moster fish off the beach in the winter months

Where exactly in Texas are you catching these monster winter sharks? I've been fishing the middle and upper TX coast surf for over 40 years, and other than a few Sandbars, have never heard of a shark caught during the dead of winter.

Wintertime Monsters
There are a couple of guys fish down at Padre Island National Seashore [PINS].
They catch a few Longfin Makos...Some up over 400 lbs...
If you try that, you need to plan your trip carefully because you will in all likelyhood
be all by yourself down there and help will be at least hours away...
My $.02.
