Hey, Cap'n, You've got the facts, Tom. Impressive. Sounds kind of tricky and exciting throwing dared poles at these sharks -- from a motorboat I guess. A bit of return to the good ole days of whaling and Captain Ahab! I tell you what, after 4 years in Georgia and four hours drive to the Ocean, I miss living close to the sea. On a Sunday in Yarmouth we used to get out in the sometimes bitter cold Spring day to dig up the quahogs. Beautiful exercise and an invigorating way to be out in Nature and hear the gulls cawing. We'd take our legal basketful to show the shellfish warden, jump in the car, and go home to shuck 'em and have them baked stuffed on the half-shell with a secret "Samurai" sauce my wife cooked up. I used to live on South Sea Avenue, the road to Sea Gull Beach. |

Because they go after the sharks in shallow water, where the shark can't go down deep, they just jab in the dart, without letting go of the pole.- Tom
