I've seen some rather large tigers caught near sandbridge beach before i believe the state record was caught in that area shark.gif , also some small hammer heads.

i would say you want to put a little water under you. tower reef, triangle wrecks, the hanks or the ricks would be areas to consider. we went on a shark charter ... good lord probably 10 years ago or so ... and fished the hanks. no hookups but had a nice run with a big tiger, and also had a sniff from a hammerhead there. that was my only time i really spent fishing for them.

there used to be a club ... virginia beach sharkers ... are they still around?

There have been quite a few very large (up to 105") sand tigers caught off the beach at Cape Point in Hatteras this year. I don't know if you can get them in water that skinny in VA or not, but I'd bet they're around closer than you'd think.

we have caught many big sand tigers of sandbridge but the best time is in may never caught one this late always on the bottom . dead bunker works good

There was a 6 1/2 ft. (either sandbar or bull shark) caught off the pier at the LIP the other day. It went about 150 lbs I'm told. shark.gif
