Where and how to catch sharks in ACNH?

ACNH sharks can be found in the ocean or the pier, which refers to the wooden bridge dock located somewhere on your beaches. Pier is more recommended because it has the best views and the fish will not be blocked by anything decorating your island. Before you are able to catch a shark, you need to make some fish baits. When you are prepared, look for a dorsal fin floating on the water, and check if the shadow size of the fish is similar to what you are looking for, if it is, use your fishing rod to complete the fish.

If you have a lucky day, you are possible to find all types of sharks in Animal Crossing, you may also have periods where you can’t find very many. But there are some things you can do to increase the chance of catching more sharks. One of the best things to do is to get yourself a Nook Mile Ticket and head on over to the Shark Island at around 6:30, Shark island in ACNH is a mystery island that only spawns sharks, what you're looking for is to go shark fishing in the evening for about 6:30 onwards, that will give you the best opportunity to catch more sharks and then the process of catching sharks is pretty much the same as with other fish. Just get the bait right in front of it, as soon as it shows any attention, be ready to press A as soon as the bait is down and you hear a little blob sound, that's where you want to press A and reel it in.
