Cows dont eat hay!!!!
They eat grass and herbs, so that bait wouldn't work, maybe if you were trying to catch a horse, take that bait to kenilworth racecourse, probably work well there!!

There are a large variety of shark that are popular for sport fishing and eating. These include leopard shark (most common), seven gill, soupfin and blue shark.
Be careful when retreiving shark! Large sharks can be especially dangerous and do serious damage to fingers, hands, and any body part that come close to their bite. If you plan on keeping yuor shark catch, you should kill it while it is still in the water using a bang stick or fish club. Deal a sharp blow to the shark's head while it under water. Extra cautious anglers will tie off any shark over 5 feet in the water and tow it back to port.
For best taste, immediately bleed any shark caught by cutting in the tail area.
Catching Leopard Shark
Technique
Bottom fish from an anchored boat using a sliding sinker rig. Bait the rig and toss it out.
Watch your rod tip carefully (or hold your rod). When the tip moves or you sense a bite, point the rod at the fish and then set the hook hard.
Prime spots include depressions or deep holes in the bottom.
Good times to fish include incoming tide, a couple of hours before highest tide, and occassionally on outgoing tide.
Tackle & Equipment
Use sturgeon, striped bass, rock cod or salmon fishing tackle. Basically, any tackle that can handle 20 to 30 lb test monofilament line and an 8 oz sinker will do.
You will also need wire leaders, a gaff, and a fish club.
Bait & Rigging
A variety of bait will work including:
Anchovies
Squid
Salmon bellies
Grass shrimp
Whole midshipman and mudsuckers
.
Catching Seven Gill (Cow), Soupfin & Six Gill Shark
These shark have gray or brown backs with small dark spots and all white bellies. These shark are in the 200 pound range.
Soupfin shark have light brown to gray backs and white bellies. These shark up to 90 pounds and 6 feet long can be caught.
Six gill sharks have emerald green eyes and jet black bodies.
Technique
Bottom fish from an anchored boat using a sliding sinker rig. Bait the rig and toss it out. Prevent your line from slacking.
Watch your rod tip carefully (or hold your rod). When the tip moves or you sense a bite, point the rod at the fish and then set the hook hard.
Locate prime spots such as shelves or deep holes at the bottom using a depth finder.
Good times to fish include either at high or at low tide.
Tackle & Equipment
Use a 6 1/2 foot medium action rod with heavy roller guides matched to a 4/0 reel and 90 pound wire line.
You will also need wire leaders, a gaff, and a fish club.
Bait & Rigging
Good bait includes:
Whole or portions of stickleback and leopard shark
Salmon
Squid
Saltwater perch
Rockfish
Catching Blue Sharks
Blue shark are typically caught in the 80-150 pound range.
Technique
Chum (scatter bait) with a basket full of ground up frozen fish (such as anchovies) or fish carcasses (such as rockfish, stripers, and salmon)
Fill about 2 or 3 half gallon milk cartons with the processed chum and freeze solid. Once at sea, remove the cartons and place the frozen chum blocks in a floating panfish basket. Drop the whole basket of the back of the boat on a short rope. This will attract the shark.
Hopefully, several blue shark will congregate. Pick out the one you want to wrestle with and cast to him.
Blue shark are good to eat if bled immediately after landing. Or you can release the shark by simply cutting the wire leader.
Tackle & Equipment
Use light tackle with 12 to 15 lb monofilament or medium freshwater bait casting or spinning equipment. Your rod should have good butt strength, good reel drag capability, and line capacity of 250 yards.
You will also need wire leaders, a gaff, and a fish club.
Bait & Rigging
Good drifting bait includes:
Anchovy
Small rockfish
Jacksmelt
Mackerel
Frozen squid
