Ok, I'll bite. What more to say than watch your surroundings and listen to your instincts based on your relationship with the ocean and it's ways. Good luck to you all!
Watch for baitfish schools Don't head out near a pier where people are fishing Avoid surf fishermen Don't go out alone Watch extra high tides Scan the water regularly Take any jewelry off Other than that I dunno I'm more aware now but not gonna stop me , today was 4th oh July millions in the water and no bites yet the other night a family goes to bed and a plane crashes into their home ... When ur numbers up it doesn't matter where your at... It's up Headin out tomm!
Most people know I surf and time and time again I hear are you afraid of sharks.I'm more afraid of driving then sharks.Grant it if a Great white was bumping my board I would then be afraid.
This guy was telling me in the lineup yesterday that when you smell dead-fish it usually means there's a shark around. How does this make sense??? Do their fart bubbles populate the surface? Or are they constantly leaving a trail of death? lmao
Just got out of water at ground zero - KOA in Waves - surf punchy clean 3ft + plenty of people in water - it however did smell very fishy and was super salty
My favorites are whale sharks. They are just beautiful imho Gonna go ahead and revise this post into something more positive:
Gotta love the way these guys glide through the water. It's like they know they are an apex predator, on some subconscious, genetic level, they KNOW nothing out there can mess with them. Raw power and size. Chill and smooth motions. It's a thing of beauty, man. I can't believe we have the technology to share this kind of imagery with each other. Freaking rad, man. #Earth yo [video]http://video.nationalgeographic.com/video/news/australia-whale-shark-crittercam-vin[/video]
