Atlantic Sharpnose Shark (Rhizoprionodon terraenovae) is a small but mighty member of the Carcharhinidae family under the order Carcharhiniformes. This distinctive shark is easily recognized by its long, pointed snout and streamlined body with brownish to olive-gray coloration on top and white underside. In Boston waters this November, these sharks provide excellent sport on light tackle. Atlantic Sharpnose Shark Overview This smaller shark species is one of the most common inshore sharks along the Atlantic coast. Despite their relatively modest size, they're known for their aggressive fights when hooked, making them popular targets for light tackle anglers. They're abundant in Boston waters, particularly during warmer months. Atlantic Sharpnose Shark Habitat and Distribution These sharks prefer shallow, warm waters typically less than 30 feet deep, often found over sandy or muddy bottoms near shorelines. They frequently inhabit bays, estuaries, and the mouths of coastal rivers. In Boston, they're commonly caught around the Kaveri River Basin where structure creates ideal hunting grounds for them. Atlantic Sharpnose Shark Size and Weight Typically measuring between 39-48 inches in length, Atlantic Sharpnose Sharks generally weigh 7-9 pounds. Males mature at around 32 inches while females grow slightly larger, with exceptional specimens occasionally reaching 4 feet in length. Atlantic Sharpnose Shark Diet and Behavior These sharks primarily feed on small fish, squid, shrimp, and crabs. They're opportunistic feeders that use their speed and agility to catch prey. They're most active during dawn and dusk, which explains why early morning fishing trips in Boston often produce the best results. Atlantic Sharpnose Shark Spawning Season In New England waters, these sharks typically mate in early summer, with females giving birth to 4-7 live young the following year. Unlike many fish species, sharks bear live young rather than laying eggs.
