I will post five at a time as they are all correctly identified. Although there are more than 34 species and over 25 more subspecies, I will post the
sharks that are in regular attendance close to Baja. If a shark cannot be identified the first day I will post a clue for that particular shark(s) the
next day. Beware, some look very much alike. Take note of dorsal and lateral fins etc. Gill-netters, longliners and fin-fishermen may not play! Good
luck.
