From here on, according to past statistics, white shark sightings will increase here on a daily basis thru OCTOBER.
As more people at the beaches get shark phobia they will spend more time looking out at the Ocean and spotting more fins.
Commercial net fishermen who accidentally catch a white, will think twice about the legal requirement to report the white shark catch. Dialing that number to report inadvertently taking a white shark is like dialing; 1-800 -SHUT ME DOWN.
As I get more recent white shark info ,I will post it here, and you are welcome to join me. - Tom

Great Whites!!
Why isn’t Antifa/BLM out there in the waters demonstrating?
I haven’t paid much attention - has this been a slow storm/hurricane season so far?
I have a feeling I recall a season some years ago where there hadn’t been any real hurricane action, and shark sightings were more numerous.
“Japanese submarine slammed two torpedoes into our side, Chief. We was comin’ back from the island of Tinian to Leyte, just delivered the bomb. The Hiroshima bomb. Eleven hundred men went into the water. Vessel went down in twelve minutes. Didn’t see the first shark for about a half an hour. Tiger. Thirteen-footer. You know how you know that when you’re in the water, Chief? You tell by lookin’ from the dorsal to the tail. What we didn’t know... was our bomb mission had been so secret, no distress signal had been sent. Heh.They didn’t even list us overdue for a week. Very first light, Chief, sharks come cruisin’. So we formed ourselves into tight groups. Y’know, it’s... kinda like ol’ squares in a battle like, uh, you see in a calendar, like the Battle of Waterloo, and the idea was, shark comes to the nearest man and that man, he’d start poundin’ and hollerin’ and screamin’, and sometimes the shark’d go away... sometimes he wouldn’t go away. Sometimes that shark, he looks right into ya. Right into your eyes. Y’know the thing about a shark, he’s got... lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll’s eyes. When he comes at ya, doesn’t seem to be livin’... until he bites ya. And those black eyes roll over white, and then... oh, then you hear that terrible high-pitch screamin’, the ocean turns red, and spite of all the poundin’ and the hollerin’, they all come in and they... rip you to pieces.”
“I’ll never wear a life jacket again, Chief.”
@Plymouth_Harbor crew investigating a white shark sighting at White Horse beach were able to catch this amazing video!! This is a confirmed tuna in about 11’ of water just off White Horse Beach. Beach is still closed for the earlier confirmed shark sighting.
Tuna link?

I’ll comment on this briefly
having spent a lot of time in my life body surfing
If you were going to put on some kind of wetsuit use only flesh colored or light artificial colors ! not black!!!!
The sharks training is to look for black thing rolling around in water. A seal
They will only attack what they think is a seal. They don’t want us at all !
Again their training is for dark shiny moving
If they take a bite of us. We taste like shit to them. They will move on
Problem is that bite can kill you or close to. Easily
Ok So I don’t wear wetsuits. I hate them and will deal with cold water CA
I like warm better. We’re in cape May NJ in two days and it’s 80 !!!
Also I forgot to say - I feel terrible for this woman ! and her family !
my condolences
Wife was at Smuggler’s Beach yesterday, practicing White Shark distancing.
