Featured Fish - Blacktip Shark

Blacktip sharks are extremely popular with anglers because they take a variety of live and dead bait, lures and even flies. The following are fishing methods used to catch this fish: They are dark grey, ashy blue or dusky bronze on the back, with a white or yellowish-white belly. Other visual characteristics include persistent black spots on the tips of the pelvic fins and a dark band extending rearward along each side of the body, back to about the beginning of the pelvic fin. The blacktip is a stout shark that sports a long, slender, pointed snout, as well as long gill slits and upright, narrow-cusped upper teeth. Anglers often confuse the spinning acrobatics of blacktips with their close relative, the spinner shark. However, a close inspection of the anal fin can separate the two, as a blacktip’s anal fin lacks pigment.
