Freeper Capt. Tom wrote this for a newspaper article to keep the ocean going New England beachgoers on the alert to a white shark presence.

Coincidentally I got a text from a friend who was bringing in a porbeagle and asked me to come down and get some shark steaks, which I just did.

Also he sent me a film of a shark right here off Scituate, Mass, which I forwarded to the most knowledgeable white shark Id expert I know of; my friend John Chisholm. Here is this afternoons e-mail by John to me:

"Hi Capt Tom,

I’m up in Maine with spotty reception. I actually received reports of that shark thru Sharktivity and N Alert has been put up.

Thanks, John

So Freepers with sharktivity app can get info on that sighting.

As soon as I post this thread ,I will try to check on the sharktivity sighting off Scituate Mass..-Tom

White Sharks Matter:
when you’re in or near their territory.

The problem with these types of federal regulations is they are brainless in that they cannot adapt to change. Put the seals and sharks and the rest under state game regulations with migratory provisions, like waterfowl.

Oh the shark, babe
Has such teeth, dear
And he shows them
Pearly white
Just a jackknife
Has old Macheath, babe
And he keeps it
Out of sight

You know when that shark bites
With his teeth, babe
Scarlet billows
Start to spread...

Fortunately, there are no white sharks in the Great Lakes so we are safe here.
