Now the dogfish is considered endangered. The thresher will be discussed extensively later on. A very easy shark to identify because of it's bizarre long tail. There are two additional species of thresher which are not in coastal New England waters. Tigers occasionally make it to the south side of Cape Cod, and have been caught there on rod and reel.
Tigers are one of the largest sharks.
A few tigers have followed the edge of the Gulf Stream farther northeast toward Nova Scotia but have passed well to the east of New England. This is a protected species. A page devoted to this shark later on in the website. From the above 15 species, only 4 species are likely to be sought and caught on rod and reel, and brought into the dock. What species are here during certain months Below are links to all the pages on the website.
