Spinner Shark, Sanibel, Catch & Release, Sanibel Fishing & Captiva Fishing, Sanibel Island, Wednesday, November 8, 2017 [File Photo: June 12, 2017].<\/figcaption><\/figure>“The\u00a0spinner shark<\/b>\u00a0(Carcharhinus brevipinna<\/i>) is a species of\u00a0requiem shark<\/a>, in the\u00a0family<\/a>\u00a0Carcharhinidae, named for the spinning leaps it makes as a part of its feeding strategy. This species occurs in tropical and warm temperate waters worldwide, except for in the eastern\u00a0Pacific Ocean<\/a>. It is found from coastal to offshore habitats to a depth of 100\u00a0m (330\u00a0ft), though it prefers shallow water. The spinner shark resembles a larger version of the\u00a0blacktip shark<\/a>\u00a0(C. limbatus<\/i>), with a slender body, long snout, and black-marked fins. This species can be distinguished from the blacktip shark by the first\u00a0dorsal fin<\/a>, which has a different shape and is placed further back, and by the black tip on the\u00a0anal fin<\/a>\u00a0(in adults only). It attains a maximum length of 3\u00a0m (9.8\u00a0ft).<\/p>\n

Spinner sharks are swift and gregarious\u00a0predators<\/a>\u00a0that feed on a wide variety of small\u00a0bony fishes<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0cephalopods<\/a>. When feeding on\u00a0schools<\/a>\u00a0of\u00a0forage fish<\/a>, they will speed vertically through the school while spinning on their axis, erupting from the water at the end. Like other members of its family, the spinner shark is\u00a0viviparous<\/a>, with females bearing litters of three to 20 young every other year. The newborns are born in shallow nursery areas near the coast and are relatively fast-growing. This species is not usually dangerous to humans but may become belligerent when excited by food. Spinner sharks are valued by\u00a0commercial fisheries<\/a>\u00a0across their range for their meat, fins,\u00a0liver oil<\/a>, and skin. They are also esteemed as strong fighters by\u00a0recreational fishers<\/a>. The\u00a0IUCN<\/a>\u00a0has assessed this species as\u00a0Near Threatened worldwide and\u00a0Vulnerable<\/a>\u00a0off the southeastern\u00a0United States<\/a>.”\u00a0\u00a0<\/sup>Please see more information here.<\/a><\/p>\n

The fishing is also renowned with sharks in the summer, tailing redfish on the bayside flats and snook under and off the Blind Pass bridge. Because Turner Beach faces Westward, the sunsets are spectacular and a popular viewing point for residents and visitors alike.<\/p>\n
