Gulf.

Grew up in Texas fishing inshore sharks up and down the Gulf coast. Spinners are not as common as blacktips but I've got them at both North and South Padre Island.

I've always been nuts about catching big fish and sharks were about the biggest thing we could catch when I was a kid without a boat. I could tell you some stories. I saw some big sharks caught off Padre in the late seventies.
