 |
|
Just an FYI for all the yakkers & waders out there
I saw sharks cruzing a channel next to the flats and Boricua saw some along a reef on the flats yesterday.
And yes I did cast to them but my yak spooked them off.
These were not dolphins but smallish sharks around 3' |

I caught my first shark off the bulkhead at Cole Park back in (iirc) 1973.

You should go to Pt Mansfield. Bull sharks get into west bay. Nothing like seeing a 7' bull in thigh deep water when you're a couple of hundred yards from the boat with a stringer of fish tied to your belt

It's even more fun when you get that solid bump on the back of your thigh, then you feel a large piece of wet sand paper rubbing your leg as the toothie cruises past.

When sharks do that they are just trying to scare the crap out of you. Sharks know we taste better that way.

If Shark Week taught me anything it's that Bull Sharks like to ram and bump their prey before attacking..... |
