what colors should i use to bring in a big bonnethead and black tip? i'm in the rivers of southeast georgia near brunswick with real muddy waters due to the salt marsh. should i use rattles or other noise devices. and how much action should i give to it. i saw on tv that orange was a good color but they were fishin for makos not inshore sharks

Normally orange and yellow are good colors for sharks. I would suggest Deceivers and other baitfish patterns. Although I've never tried it personally, I've heard of tying baitfish patterns with lots of red in the edges to simulate cut bait, then chumming and simply letting your fly flutter among the chum, kinda like this http://www.flyofthemonthclub.com/store/catalog.asp?p=3&category_id=57&item=2615. Let us definitely see some pics if you catch any.

Bonnetheatds are primarily crustacean feeders so any crab or shrimp fly should work Poppers are good for sharks but have a short life. Mullet flies are good also. The best shark fly is a "meat fly". They are blood red and very fluffy and made to resemble a piece of meat. Best used when chumming sharks in fairly clear water. They are fun to catch.
