The flyrod is a blast on the surf. I use mine to catch Barred Surf Perch. You can even attach a Gulp Sand Flea to a #14 mosquito hook and play it out like a good streamer fly.
As far as the shark fishing goes, I would hang up the flyswatter (like I do) and bring out the bigger artillary.
20 to 30lb setup would be recommended(rod and reel). 20lb Test, 4/0 Ocotpus hooks and 2 hole frozen squid will get you bit in just about any location on the coast. If you are going to fish from the beach, you will need at least a 5oz Pyramid sinker to hold you just past the surf line.
When fishing from a pier, 3oz is sufficient when you cast out from well behind the surf line up to the depths of the abyss.
What area are you planning to fish?? I can give you some pointers on some of the other specific species for the area.[cool]
