Looks like a dusky shark to me.

First one looks like a spinner. Need more detail on the others. Dusky and sandbars have intradorsal ridge. Hard to see in second pic but sure looks like the ridge may be there and the way the pectoral vs dorsal looks like dusky like Sam said.

Yup, first one looks like a spinner.

Yes, I saw the black tip on the dorsal of the second shark pic, but I've seen plenty of sandbars with the same "smaller, less noticeable" black tip. The lack of the "sandbar hump" leads me to believe that it could be a dusky. I'm not too sure considering the way the pics were taken.

After getting corrected by 3 marine biologists last year on that tag shark I thought was a sandbar I think we have been catching more duskies than I thought. Even on the Sandbar juveniles there is till somewhat of a hump. Attached is the juvenile tagged dusky from last year.
