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.
