Guy fooling around with seals on the Atlantic side of Cape Cod paid the price last summer. Don't know the type of shark but we can guess. Cape Cod tourist industry claims first shark attack in 82 years. Maybe, maybe not. Only Quint would know....Don't swim with seals! Bad ju ju indeed. They say GW Sharks don't seek humans. But anyone can make a mistake. Have you every seen how they attack. They swim up from underneath and hit a seal so hard it's probably dead before it lands back in the water. That's not how I want to end. Not even time for a "Hail Mary." We once saw a Tiger shark swimming along the beach INSIDE Shinnicock Inlet where my brother and I used to dive. I never went diving there again. I couldn't ever be comfortable there again. These trackers are killing me. GW's are swimming along the beach a Napatree, Block Island, GREENWICH and probable about anywhere else you dip a toe on the NE coast.
Very distinctive pattern on its skin. I paddled my dinghy within twenty feet as it made its way towards a group of swimmers...How do you know?
Probably leaves her alone as there isn't much meat on the bone!Ocean Ramsey. What a babe!
Wow! Good to know it was a whale shark....Very distinctive pattern on its skin. I paddled my dinghy within twenty feet as it made its way towards a group of swimmers...
I've seen a 9' shark eaten by a 12' shark, less than 50' from the boat. It's a long story that involves some cobia fishing. About 4 other sharks jumped in to finish off the 9-footer after the 12' guy got the first big bite out of his back. It was a big red mess....
Experts somewhat arbitrarily "explained" the mystery by saying it was another, much larger GW that ate the nine footer whole. And perhaps it was. But my understanding is that the largest GW known to science measured 20 feet, which seems a bit small for the job.....
These scientists drive me nuts sometimes. This beast is cruising the LI shoreline and they say "That's a real positive sign for the Sound there.". I wonder if they plan to spend their vacation on the beach or in the waters. "people should 'demonstrate common sense' before going into the water."
