With Federal and State protection of white sharks, and their sought after prey, seals, there will be no letup in incidences involving people. -Tom
Shark Week is being called “Racist” because most of the coverage is about Great WHITE Sharks....
My experience is with a sand shark. perfectly harmless. He was chasing the small fishes next to the shoreline where we were. There were four of us six feet from shore. Waist deep. Full moon and the Gulf was as smooth as I have ever seen it. Like glass. He was feeding on small fishes near shore and was almost right on us when I pulled my wife away to shore. The women were slightly spooked. When the flash of cell camera flashed, the shark fled quickly away.
There was an article yesterday about sharks loading up their families into the family truckster and taking them to St Louis to see the Arch.
understanding that they’re capable of killing or maiming you is not being scared...
it’s common sense...
I will watch some of it, to see if my favorite shark, the shortfin mako, gets some coverage. -Tom
Watch Josh Gates and William Shatner in Expedition Unknown: Shark Trek on the Discovery Channel. It’s well worth your time. Plenty of belly laughs.
William Shakespeare has a cure for the problem. The Big Muddy means catfish to me.
I can’t sing but I’d be a great soprano.
The time was midnight. Full moon. It could easily have been a tiger shark. I’m no shark expert. Water clarity was exceptional and the water glass. It was a magical night.
Bring back the annual Cape Cod Shark Tournament
Josh Gates used to have an interesting show full of discovery, science, and adventure. Then, he went all drama all the time.
“I’m slipping IM SLIPPING!!” (20 minutes of commercials) “Oh, I caught myself”
“What was that NOISE. WHAT WAS THAT!!!” (20 minutes of commercials) “Oh, camera man stepped on a twig”
It became boring as hell and unwatchable.
I like boring.
Yes. I moved from the west coast of WA, literally, to the Great Lakes. Great swimming here!
This leftist wave of encouraging huge predators to thrive makes me ill.
I’ve seen a few Makos on screen, but they are just mentioned like, “And here’s a Mako.” and then move on to the Tigers, Bulls and Great Whites....................
Considering what I’ve been reading in the CCT about attempted abductions in the area of late, I’d be more worried about land sharks...
