All members of the shark family are identifiable by most anglers pretty easily, as they for the most part have similarly shaped and colored bodies (anywhere from a light brown, tan or grey if not darker upper halfs and a lighter underside), what sets the Tiger Shark apart is its catlike darker markings running its flank, marking can appear spotted (like a leopard) or striped (like a tiger).
These fiah are found in the open deep waters off the coasts, but will venture into nearshore waters frequently.
Live or dead baitfish make for the best natural bait, while artificials are not commonly used when targeting this fish.
