About Salmon Sharks

Salmon sharks are actually a variety of sharks that live in the colder waters of the northern part of the Pacific Ocean. They follow the movement of the various types of salmon, moving into shallower coastal waters during the spawning season and then moving again into deeper waters with the young salmon that move into the ocean to mature. Salmon sharks are generally dark gray to black on the top and lighter cream or white colors on the bottom. Salmon sharks will take six to ten years to reach maturity, and will often grow to be in excess of nine feet in length and up to four hundred pounds in weight.

Salmon shark in Alaska is compared to Marlin down in the more southern waters off of Mexico. The salmon shark is a voracious feeder and will hit on almost any type of bait while they are actively feeding on the schools of salmon. Salmon shark is always done from a boat, with proper mounting brackets for heavy rods, reels and tackle. Most anglers

report that it can take up to an hour to bring in a salmon shark once it is on the line. They can often be seen jumping out the water or �cartwheeling� as they try to escape from the hook and line.

In most situations salmon shark is for trophy pictures only, often with the sharks being released. Anglers that wish to bring home the sharks need to ensure that the shark is gutted and bled out as soon as possible after being brought out of the water to prevent the meat from spoiling. The meat obtained from salmon shark is not to everyone�s taste, but many cultures, including the Japanese, consider the meat of a salmon shark as well as the liver to be a delicacy.
