Ok so here is the back story,
I grew up in Southern California and always wanted to go diving with my dad, however my fear of sharks paralyzed me as a young boy. When I was 8 years old my father took me surf fishing and he caught a tiny little black tip shark. my dad explained to me that if I would be the one to gently release the baby shark, it would forever protect me from all other sharks in the ocean. I know........ ridiculous, but I believed him and I have enjoyed diving in several different countries since then.
I take my family on trips all the time and it is generally to a location that has diving. I cant even get my son to snorkel in shallow waters. On our recent vacation I had a small blow up raft for him to lay in and a mask and snorkel on him so he could dunk his head and see the beauty of the world down there.
Here is my question..........
I plan on taking a trip down to Galveston this coming weekend on a partial business partial pleasure quick trip. Can anyone give me tips on the best location and bait to increase my chances of catching a small shark so I can hopefully get my son to release it and overcome his fears? We are going back to the bahamas next month and I really want to get him in the water.
Any help would be appreciated
