What is the size and keep regulations?
</font id=“quote”></blockquote id=“quote”>I had my buddy pin it down by the head with the body and tail hanging off the side of the boat. I used a knife to cut open the belly and removed all the guts. I used a jug of cold tap water that I brought with me to rinse out the cavity and scrub out any blood and nastiness. I put it on ice and packed the cavity with ice.
When I got home I filleted it pretty much just like any other fish. I use a cheap knife to cut through the skin, because the skin is just like sandpaper and will dull your knife quickly. I use my good knife to do the trimming and remove the skin.
After rinsing the fillets off, I dry them with a paper towel, rub a little olive oil on both sides, and put whatever seasonings I want on them. Lemon pepper is my favorite on shark.

can you catch large sharks in the harbor, or are you most likely to catch bonnethead and sharpnose the majority of the time?

Mary Lee gets close every once in a while. I have never caught anything over 4’ in the harbor, but I’m sure bigger sharks come into the harbor and cruise around.
I usually catch bonnetheads and sharpnose with rays and ladyfish occasionally mixed in. A big ladyfish is a fun fight! They jump a lot.

Clean em like a catfish. I’ve never bled out any of ky sharks and they still taste grea! I think bleeding sharks is a myth that people circulate around but haven’t tried nit doing it, like how people say don’t eat mullet. Big mullet is great! Also I just fry my shark steaks and its really good.
Also tickle is so drunk all the time he actually thinks he can make moonshine:smiley:
I have hooked large sharks near Morris Island during the mullet run. Largest was upwards of 5-6’. So they are there. I have seen pics of large nurse sharks caught in the harbor and have a friend that used a local guide and boated a 12’ (+) nurse shark. They had pics of it on facebook for a while. I think that the measured length was 14’, but don’t recall exactly.

when it comes to eating them a good tip I was taught a while ago is to let the shark meat soak in milk for an hour or so, yes i know that doesnt sound right but it takes the fishy taste out. Just rinse the milk off before cooking them. you can never go wrong with fried shark strips, or shark steak marinated in italian dressing on the charcoal grill!
