Do the bonnetheads and blacktips leave for the winter like everything else?

If they don't, live shrimp still the best bait for them (bonnetheads anyway)?

I don’t fish for sharks, but I believe crabs are the main forage of bonnetheads.

Bonnethead Sharks will leave for warmer water come winter time. They come back though, they just drift south. as previously pointed out I catch them using crabs. dang good eating shark IMO

Every time I fish with crabs I catch them. I believe they do leave for the winter but I'm not sure where they go. I'm assuming they probably cruise out to deeper warmer water.
