Looks like this has become an over publicized and ridiculous spectacle, perhaps deliberately so. At least that's how it appears on the Facebook feed. Hate to say it but I'm rather glad I'm not there. Just my take on it. If this sort of thing is what you like, more power to you. In any case, I hope everyone lands a legal shark.

Why did it seem like a lot of them had no clue...

Shark fishing from a boat is one thing.
From the beach another.
But from a pier has its own challenges...
Hopefully this will not discourage more 'experiments' of this nature to solve the shark problem at the pier.

On the effort? Fox10 Mobile showed an undersized shark being caught, netted, and released. I didn't see any other reports. When nothing happened in the first 30 minutes or so, I thought that it might not go as anticipated. But all those people! I won't ever go when there's a shark roundup!

This was just like all kinds of fishing---some days (nights) they don't bite. Now, if they'd turn us loose on a day when there was a good Spanish bite and the sharks were crawling all over each other, it would be an entirely different story. Yesterday, there weren't any sharks at the cleaning station when I cleaned my king.

Based on what I have seen fishing the PCB piers, those guys last night were highly undersized/unprepared in tackle. Had they hooked a shark of any decent size, they would have been taken to the cleaners.

I think the remoras overheard the conversations about "Shark Night" and spread the word to the men in gray suits.
Well, after several hours making phone calls, I was able to track down a certain manufacturer’s service center in California. Thankfully, they agreed to send out my needed parts. These were left over...
You would think I would know this!
