When white sharks reach about 12 feet they switch from fish to seals for food to satisfy their bulk.

Relatively smaller whites in the 6-8- 10 foot range feed generally on fish.

The massive seal colonies on the easterly ocean side Cape Cod beaches have been a magnet for larger white sharks who seek out seals for a meal.

The smaller white sharks born afer the federal proection have started showing up in Cape Cod Bay on the Plymouth / Boston side where they feed on fish like stripers and bluefish.

Large whites have been here in the Bay side also as there is a lot of seals off Manomet point Plymouth.

White shark "interactions" with people in the water can be expected in August and September. -Tom

Someone needs to point the sharks to Hyannis Port. Lots of fat humans there.

seven great white sharks were spotted off Provincetown

Will a shark be charged with a "hate crime" if it chomps on one of the members of the Provincetown's LGBT community.

Restoring sea otter or seal populations also restores the shark population.

Y’all know me. Know how I earn a livin’. I’ll catch this bird for you, but it ain’t gonna be easy. Bad fish. Not like going down to the pond and chasing bluegills and tommycocks.

This shark, swallow you whole. No shakin’, no tenderizin’, down you go.

And we gotta do it quick, that’ll bring back your tourists, put all your businesses on a payin’ basis. But it’s not gonna be pleasant. I value my neck a lot more than three thousand bucks, chief. I’ll find him for three, but I’ll catch him, and kill him, for ten. But you’ve gotta make up your minds. If you want to stay alive, then ante up. If you want to play it cheap, be on welfare the whole winter.

I don’t want no volunteers, I don’t want no mates, there’s too many captains on this island. Ten thousand dollars for me by myself. For that you get the head, the tail, the whole damn thing.

We have the same problem off west of the Golden Gate to the Farallon Islands in California. The very large seal and sea lion population in those waters attract a LOT of the bigger sharks (and a lot of killer whales, too).

The Whites stay in cold water. Only come in to grab seals that are near deep water. Tiger sharks are the ones to worry about. They’re there and they’ll come in much shallower and warmer than the whites. A lot of the attacks up there are blamed on Whites when they’re more likely Tigers. You can see the Tigers from the air in August. They swim just beyond the breakers on the surf beaches.
