			They can be fun when you are tired of catching nothing.
 Just be aware, to "target" sharks, even if you are releasing them-
 
 You are required to have a HMS permit with Shark endorsement
 you are required to use circle hooks
 
 Dusky sharks and any other "ridgeback" sharks are protected, great whites are protected, Makos are now protected.
 
 The only shark worth keeping to eat are Threshers. There a lot of them in close feeding on bunker and they get very big and are really fun to catch on a 50# class outfit
 
 
 And hey, guy at my dock has been running up off Rockaway..Ambrose light area.   400# Bluefins are in that bunker. They had one on a spinning rod for 3 hours. he showed me cell phone video of them jumping clear out of the water crushing bunker schools.
