During December '13, while having dinner at Neptune's, a small boat came to shore near the front of the restaurant, towing a large shark. It was a very large Tiger Shark, much larger than the boat. We were told the shark would be used a bait, not for human consumption. We were very curious at the time, and did not know shark fishing was illegal.

The small boat on the way to shore. We were trying to figure out what they were dragging behind?

Once on shore we could see what it was, a large Tiger Shark, still alive, but barely. We had mixed emotions regarding the incident, but knowing fishing is the livelihood of some residents, it must be respected.

Oh, I see the ban was not until 2014, so I was mistaken by mentioning this particular incident might be illegal. I assume it was permissible during December '13.
