Not really a "place" per say, but an area...known as the Western
Basin.

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.- Hide quoted text -

Yeah, still these are skinny little mud sharks, I just let em' go and
hope they don't hang around too long. Gotta' admit. Out there at 2am
catching a couple of sharks makes you think twice about rinsing your
bloody hands over the side;)

Mako shark is delicious, very much like swordfish.

Yeah, at one time they were very inexpensive, but shark is becoming more
expensive as people find out it does taste like swordfish.

I wouldn't eat a shark or a swordfish. There's too damned much
"harvesting" pressure on sharks, swordfish and many other species.
