Set up for leopard sharks

Tag and Release Sharks and Rays with the Pelagic Shark Research Foundation: We catch (tag and release) most of our sharks using nets however we are working to encourage sport light tackle anglers to carefully tag and release leopard sharks,smoothhound sharks, guitarfishes and thornback rays and have had some good results working up in San Francisco Bay and Monterey Bay and Elkhorn Slough. http://www.pelagic.org/slough/index.html If anyone is interested in supporting and getting involved with a tag and release program dont hesitate to contact us. We have tips (but not tippets) for those interested in tech, tactics and tackle for safely hooking up and landing these near shore denizens, fly fishing rigs work really well for these critters. Always be safe, sane and humane to both your crew and your quarry. Thanks, Sean S.R.
