You know, I was starting to debunk a whole lot of the misinformation found here until it looked like I was blasting just about everyone on this thread - and of course we all know that is just not CaptDave.

Then, I thought about ignoring it, but that didn't work either.

So, in the interest of NVD's question, may I please point him to the following websites:
State Waters: covers fishing regs. for all bodies of water from the coastline to 9 nm offshore.

Federal Waters: covers fishing regs. for the waters beyond 9nm out to 200nm:

The short answer: It is not illegal to shoot sharks. However, the daily bag limit on sharks is 1 . So, you can shark fish all you want but after you boat your one shark, you may keep fishing for them but the rest must be released.
