  We got out a little late in the day, the wind came up. We will be back out tomorrow, we can always find shelter from the wind in Owen Sound Bay except a north wind. I was thinking to myself; when is a fish going to hit the A-TOM-MIK fly behind our secret new product? When it does, we will have a wide angle video shot from the side so we can see how fish behave in the spread; hopefully a whole bunch of them. We were originally booked to go out with the Fishing Machine Greg Amiel, way out in the middle of Lake Ontario where he has some monster Kings

Shark Cannonballs is pleased to welcome Chad Deschamps from Revelstoke British Columbia to the Shark Pro Staff Team.  "The river here is travelling at 18 mph with the flow.  I found even with the current and the water levels anywhere from 25-57' i worked the cannon balls to see how they tracked in the current.. They stayed true. Lastly .. Yesterday was a successful day on the river using sharks on the rigger and on the surface .. I caught 4 bull trout ranging from 12-18 lbs on the sharks and lymans. Here is a photo of one of the beauties i caught in a 45' pool with the shark at 35' Best Regards Chad Deschamps

Thanks for all your help Mike, you have been an inspiration.  Looking forward to some new reports from Alaska.

One of the toughest competitors on the Great Lakes, and certainly one of the coolest captains on the lake. Sharkman "We have found the 17 pound sharks to be the perfect compromise. They track true, and there is very little blow back, they are less taxing on the downrigger equipment. In certain situations fishing extreme depth and rough water it's also nice to have a set of 20 pounders."

Hi Suzanne, Below is a message that I sent to South Coast Chapter members, regarding today’s fishing. As you can see in the picture, one of your Shark Weights is displayed on my cooler. We caught seven Salmon and two Mackerel all behind Shark Cannonballs. We caught more fish than most of the boats fishing in the same area. They weren’t using Shark Cannonballs! Regards, Steve Subject: Re: Today's Fishing South Coast Chapter Members, As promised, I went fishing today. Ran out of the Winchester Bay around 7:30 AM and went North to set crab traps. We started fishing around 100 foot depth and had two double releases, which ended up as one small Coho to the boat and released. We moved out to 250 feet of depth and caught two Mackerel, that was a first. Ran down to the Whistler and trolled at various depths. Marked some fish at 25 feet and brought one of the downriggers to the appropriate depth and nailed our first keeper Coho. Although we trolled at various depths, what worked best ...

Shark Cannonballs would not be where it is today without the help of Canada's most famous angler, Mr. Darryl Choronzey.  In recognition of the support Darryl Cronzy has provided to our project over the past 14 years, we appointed Darryl as an honorary member of the Shark Cannonballs International Pro Staff Team. As a small family business operating out of Northern Ontario, we could not afford mainstream advertising. Right from the beginning, Darryl liked the Shark and took it upon himself to help our project. He featured the Shark on his TV show “Going Fishing” countless times over the years. The exposure on the show and the support from Canada's top fishing personality has enabled us to survive in a very competitive fishing equipment market among international corporate giants. Darryl did this out of the goodness of his heart and asked nothing in return. Once in a while we were able to supply him with a few samples. We would like to mention at the same time, Darryl wa...

Capt. Ryan Hare re: 17 Pound Sharks. I really like the 17lb balls. Great size for guys who are not comfortable with the 20lb ball but want to fish a bit deeper. It really performs well in depths from 100-180ft below that I prefer my 20lbs Sharks.  I have been running a 15lb on my probe down 30-65ft. I run my mid rigger with a 17. It works well down shallow in 25-60fow but works great down 100-180ft as I said before  I always run a 20lb on my deep rigger. I run that 20lbs Sharks down 200-330ft sometimes.

Team Prime Time: 14 years later

There is no doubt Shark Cannonballs owes it's success to the scores of charter captains and tournament champions who have been using Sharks for the past 14 years. We were a small fish in a big pond, a good product but the politics of marketing was the biggest obstacle. What saved us was guys like Captain Pete Lahosky, Capt. Pete was one of the first Lake Ontario captains to prove Sharks worked to attract fish to the spread. 14 years later Capt. Pete still likes his Sharks, this email from him this morning; and 14 years later we are still grateful to Captain Pete Lahosky and his team Prime Time to tell it like it is. We will be posting a brand new Shark Cannonballs website soon, Captian Pete was the first to step up with new material for our Shark Pro Staff Page. Ed,  Nice to hear from you. I am without a doubt still a huge fan of the Shark weight. New boat this season a Tiara 32 Open has 3 Scotty downriggers and of course all of them outfitted with 15...

I dropped in to see my old pal Lorne Fletcher yesterday at Fletcher's Sports; Lorne was doing just great, he was at his station fixing an eyelet on an expensive rod.  He gave me some good advice on our new Shark flashers; I remember 14 years ago when he advised me on how to improve our rather crude first Sharks.  Lorne was the first Shark dealer ever and he is the first Shark dealer to stock our series of tournament spoons. In stock now.
