Bull Shark

AKA: Ground Shark / Cub Shark Family: Shark

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 Bull Shark apart is its broad compact body and head, large pectoral fins and a wide dorsal fin.

These fiah are found in nearshore and coastal waters, even venturing far up streams and rivers and even finding his way into completely fresh water lakes.

Dead baitfish are the best natural bait, while large topwaters work the best as an artificial bait.
