The migrations often follow similar movements by species of fish like mullet. Also, once they enter northern Palm Beach County waters and points north there can be more abundant fin fish near shore. The larger sharks like bulls, tigers and even makos can feed on the smaller spinner sharks which as you can see are all over the place. They travel south in the fall to breed in warmer waters and head back up to the area off the Carolinas to pup or give birth.

Spinners can often be seen spinning out of the water if you spend much time at the beach during the migration.
