Blue sharks are found in open ocean world wide except in the deep tropics. They are common of the Irish and US coast.

The blue shark, with its streamlined body, is a fast and aggressive hunter. Their bodies are designed for efficient long range cruising but they can unleash bursts of speed and hard turns when chasing down prey. There are reports of these fish being caught over 15' in length, although the largest measured and weighed blue was 13' long and near 600 lbs. in weight. A blue takes about 12 years to mature and is about 7' in length and weighs in at over a 100 pounds. Blue sharks bear their young live and a litter can have up to 50 pups.

The fish may be eaten if it is immediately bled while it is still alive. It should be skinned and soaked as soon as possible because blue sharks excrete urea through their skin and the taste must be purged from the meat.

Fishing Methods: Blue sharks are most often caught by chumming / rubydubing=y the area and then setting out bait lines. The blue shark has course skin and tend to roll up in the line when hooked, so it is imperative that you use steel leader when fishing them.
