First shark tag returned
 
Salt, you can get tags by wrighting to NMFS, Apex Predators Program 28 Tarzwell Dr. Narragansett, RI 02882 or you can call 401-782-3320.
It's a pritty cool thing to do and your catching the sharks already so why not do something for science.
Good luck

great. Thanks for the info. I've gotten a few tag's back from stripers in the past. It's pretty cool to see where they have been and how far they have travelled.

Gonna give it another try on saturday. Hopefully we'll have more luck than before. Again any tips or locations that have been productive lately is appreciated.
