BTW, my spot is
just 200 yards south of the RR bridge at Chimney point in Old

I've been by there many times. Blues? Stripers?
And brown sharks that will give you a good fight in the middle of the
night. And once in a while a doormat sized fluke
What is a fluke as it relates to a shark, and what the heck do you do
with it? I thought a fluck referenced flatfish.

I have had some great shark steaks, but don't know if only certain
sharks are tasty.

Fluke are a kind of flatfish. We have Fluke and Flounder here. The
sharks are brown sharks and althouhg some say you can eat them "if"...
I don't like food that needs an "if" But I am told also that because
they have no bones, they are extremely difficult to clean. I have not
run into anyone yet that keeps them, but they are still fun to catch.

Most of the guys I know who eat shark steak them out...that is, they
don't filet them, they slice them like a pineapple you'd put on its
side. I don't much like the taste of shark.
