They should be there. I know they are everywhere on the west end at Katrina rocks to the very far west end. Gulf side and bay side. As many three footers as you could want to catch. Some bigger!
I target smaller sharks off the beach. I am not expert but have had some success on filets of ladyfish. I suppose a filet of anything will work. I use smallish baits trying to catch smallish sharks but have hooked up with one in the 200ish range so my intentions are good but results vary. 
I think there is a place but you may have to pay to park and it closes during the good shark fishing hours. They ought to be all around sand island though. I just have not fished there this year.
I used to shark fish Dauphin Island once a week a few years ago. Great place for shark fishing, other than the long ass walk to the water with all the shark gear. The beach has changed so much that I couldn't even tell you the places where I had the best luck, since they are now gone. Lots of sharks! A nice chunk of ladyfish would only last 10min in the water and then make the 9/0 sing. The water is shallow all long ways out, so only a short kayak ride is needed.
