So the other day I was fluking in an area that had plenty of sharks around. A few boats even hooked up on them. It shouldn't come as a surprise, as this is two or more years consecutive years of it.
It was blisteringly hot and it's tempting to take a dip in the ocean to cool off. This is exactly what one guy did just a few hundred yards from us and other boats that had reported shark sightings.
I ask, Would you take a 5-10 minute swim in those waters?
Would you or wouldn't you?
If you swim in any body of salt water, or Lake Titicaca, you're swimming in waters that have sharks. Never give it a second thought, HOWEVER, I sure wouldn't swim in area close to a seal colony, nor wear a black wet suit.

I guess Tony ain't such a tough bad ass after all 8-)8-)
Personally, I would not go in either if I saw any sharks in the area or was out fishing away from the immediate coastline
However I swim at ocean beaches often and not afraid to do so.....
At least I'm enjoyin' the ride.....

Would you give it a thought if you knew there were sharks actively feeding on fish in the area?

I have done that often through the years whilst offshore. On those hot still days,flat ass calm. Not if i saw or marked sharks. Haven't done that for quite a few years now only because it's to hard to get back in the boat. 🙂

Are we talking Sand Sharks? What type of shark did they hook up on?

Small (4-5’) hammerheads were swimming around the boat on Tues. Very cute - from a safe distance!
"Luck" is when preparation meets opportunity.
I prefer fishing evolution to fishing extinction.
If ya want to clean up the water, ya gotta get the pigs out of the creek.

I don't even step foot in the beach since JAWS. Scared for life.
