No other fish has as much of a fearful reputation as a
shark, and their reputation stands when it comes to catching the monsters of the sea. Take a look at a few of the most popular shark species for anglers.
Blue Shark
Blue sharks get their name form their brightly colored blue
tops with a lighter blue on their sides. They are one of the most widely
distributed animals in the world, and can be found off the shores of every continent
besides Antarctica. They are known to be found particularly around the Mediterranean
and the western Atlantic Ocean.
Shortfin Mako
These are one of the most popular sharks to catch in all of
the western Atlantic Ocean. They are great fighters, and a memorable catch for
any angler. They are also known to make a great meal for anglers who keep their
catch, but it’s typically advised they can make a great meal for those who keep
their catch. Be wary of their fight though, as they are known to leap sky high
out of the water and even charge the boat. Other fishermen have been injured
from sharks biting boats and leaping into them, so always be cautious with these sharks.
Thresher Shark
There are varying species of thresher sharks, which can be
found throughout the Atlantic as well as the Pacific Ocean. Although they can
be found in deep waters, they are typically found in more shallow waters, which
make them an ideal shark for the Gulf of Mexico. Much like the Shortfin Mako,
they will typically jump out of the water, and are a fun shark to catch.
Great Hammerhead Shark
Great Hammerheads can be found in tropical waters around the
world, and can be found in water of less than 4 feet deep to around 230 feet
off shore. They can grow up to 15 feet, and try to overpower anglers when
caught.
