KLB1980,
I emailed the local folks monitoring Sharks and got this reply from Craig Shirey, Manager of Fisheries from DNREC.
Dr Fox has done work in this area so stay tuned for his input.
Thanks for taking the time to report and asking.

Thanks for the info I'm pretty sure it was a sandbar shark it took a bite out of my dogbox cushion but we released him on his merry way. |
