Shark Fishing in New Jersey.
Federal regulations prohibit targeting any prohibited species. Anglers must release any prohibited shark immediately, without removing it from the water and in a manner that maximizes its chances of survival.
Sand Tiger Sharks are a prohibited species, therefore posing for pictures on the beach with this species or any other species on the prohibited list is a violation of federal regulations.
Additional information on the regulations regarding these species can be found at:
