Any of you guys have experience shark fishing from the beach in NY?

I’d like to do some beach shark fishing this Summer in the New York area. Thought I’d take the bait out in a kayak some 300-400 yards from the beach. I have all the gear for it already, I just need some input as to where exactly I should try if I want to hook into some decent toothy guys. Any kind of advice is welcome. Thanks.

What is a good kayak for fishing?

My cockpit 15′ Canadian Necky is tippy until until
I put a paddle float on one end and dig blade of
opposite end under shock cords that lace decking
behind my back. Leaning to the side of this improvised
outrigger helps peg the stability enough to work a stubby rod
and reel. I usually fish where freshwater delta enters ocean.
As sands dry at ebb I’ll go upriver to deeper channel until the
flood tide lets me escape. I’ll go ashore to drag out Bullhead
Shark; I have method to transform their eyeballs into quality
jewelry and Asian’s have a thing for my fin soup.

I live in Alaska but know little about this form of fishing, any information on the great.
How fast do I troll for them, what size hooks in the salmon bait do I use? Etc etc?
I have just got to try this!
Sorry for the typo; I meant any information would be great.
