Shark, Sandbar/Brown

Color varies slightly, generally grayish
brown along the upper body, creamy to white below. Strongly resembles the
bull shark(not listed). High dorsal fin place forward on body, hatchet
shaped second dorsal close to the tail. Hatchet shaped pelvic and
anal fins placed close to tail. Generally found in 10-40 fathoms,
this fish prefers the shallows, but the males range out to 100 fathoms.
Females tend to stick to the shallower feeding/breeding grounds.
The Sandbar shark grows to about 8 ft., averaging 70-85 pounds, with some
as large as 200 pounds. They are abundant throughout the warmer parts
of the Atlantic Ocean. Best bait to catch them in the New Jersey
area is chunked bunker, on 7/0 to 9/0 hooks. Best fishing is during
the full moon, at high tide(night fishing only). Edible. |
