Calling BS!! Only beach Shark fishing brings Sharks that close to the beach! Ask any idiot and they'll tell you.

Sic Vid Dude! Looks like Dusky's to me. No clue what it is they're slamming.
Thanks for sharing.

They are blasting a school of Menhaden aka "bunkers".

I would love to see if they'd hit a pencil popper...

Can't see why they wouldn't. In general, Sharks will hit almost anything in a frenzy. Be a heck of a workout for a popping rod.

That looks like what we call a "smooth dogfish" in that pic. rather than a brown or dusky,
(I could be wrong)
A big one too!

We caught lots of them in joisey.

Here's another XL smooth dog!

That would be me. Here's the background on the video. It was shot by a friend of mine named Tom Lynch and was shot on August 16th. It was shot on Island Beach State Park located south of Seaside Park, NJ. The fish attack started a 1/4 mile off the beach and got, I'm told, at one point to 50 yards from land. It's amazing footage. The water temperature has been high this summer leading to all kinds of bait in the water. Croakers, Spot, Bluefish, Snappers (juvenile Bluefish), etc... Plenty of fishermen witnessed this sight. Luckilly it was not near the bathing beaches.

As for our night time Sharking, it was caught on Sunday night and it is a small Dusky shark and not a Dogfish. Dogfish are slender and their eyes are round. Look at the picture of the other feller's shark. My shark has the narrow eyes and normal shark body. I can catch Dogfish any night with a squid strip. My shark took a fresh bluefish chunk. It took 10 minutes to land. This was my first of the evening. We caught 7 sharks between 5 guys. My 2nd shark was bigger and he broke off at my feet. You've never seen 5 guys scatter so quick.
