CAPE HATTERAS, Dare County — Great white sharks are showing up off the Carolina coast as winter approaches.
The Charlotte Observer reported Monday that 10 great whites have been recorded off the North Carolina and South Carolina coast in recent weeks.
They include one that’s almost 15 feet long and weighs more than 1,300 pounds.
The group Ocearch tags the sharks with GPS trackers that “ping” each time they surface.
Researchers said the southeastern coast is “a winter hot spot” for sharks. Ocearch founder Chris Fischer said the area off Cape Hatteras is “a staging area for migration” in the fall and spring.
By the time that the GW arrive in Carolina waters, the tourists are GONE.
Out primary SOUTHERN maneaters are TIGERS & they are around all the time that the tourists are here.
(We also have some VERY LARGE Hammers during “tourist season”, too.)
As I’ve said, a TIGER killed a swimmer “in our family’s front yard” at OAK ISLAND, 3 years ago in about waist-deep water about 40M from the dry land.
