I surf with seals all the time. If a shark is going to confuse you with a seal..well you found a stoopid shark
that's what u would think,that sharks don't like cold water,but according to shark week lol that's completely false.I am no shark expert,but I did see a few in south Africa and northern cali that like to cruise the shorelines during the dead of winter,then theres another story of them migrating to shark island or some shyt off the Baja coast to stay warm.
Yeah. I saw that too.... But the water temps in SA and Norcal is in the mid 50's. That's a big difference to the north east.. You can get a good idea of migration patterns looking at the sharks they tagged on Ocearch. They split and head south when the water gets too cold. Otherwise why would they leave Cape Cod? The seals stay all year. But the sharks show up and disappear the same time every year.
Nor cal drops into the upper 40's, mostly in spring tho, when the heavy winds kick off the upwelling. But "shark season" is (if i remember correctly it's been a handful of years i haven't had to think about it), august - december. That's when the seals are most abundant, and the sharks are eating them. And the only time you think much about them in Nor Cal. I'm sure theres an anomaly or two, but overall thats the sharky time. Don't know a thing about the east coast, but i'd say they would follow the seals there too.
Saw a seal last week in DE, we also surfed until I couldn't make out the waves coming in. a little erie
Had enough of humans attacking sea life recently!!! This has to stop, let's all join whale wars and harpoon those kooks!!!!!!
I used to be into that show. I got tired of the slow a$$ Sea Sheppard never being able to catch the other ships
I always thought that but I saw a bit in half seal in long branch in feb and thats also when the one went sketch that I saw in the lineup. I'm not so sure about that theory anymore.
As long as a shark secures sufficient caloric intake, they will stay in your colder waters. Mostly the male sharks. They may move offshore a bit to get the warm currents from the Gulf Stream, but migration is optional for the males. The females migrate south to release pups into warmer waters during winter. It gives the pups a better survival chance. Most of the sharks (not all) that Ocearch tracks heading south turn out to be the females. This is consistent with most biological species--they follow the food and increase their survival values. Seals stay put off of Cape Cod, therefore it would not be a surprise to catch sharks albeit in deeper waters, farther offshore, during winter. They are out there, that is for sure.
They do move offshore for the warmer water. They are not staying put in water in the mid 30's. Seals stay put in Cape Cod in the winter, but there are no more shark sightings.
yea I checked that last night,saw a bunch of pings off the coast,was going to post but realized those pings are from the fall so warmer water.I never heard about a great white in jersey other than that video somebody posted a year ago but they were 30 miles off the coast,but I see every year up in massachusettes or whatever(cape cod wherever that is) they swarm the shoreline like those little sharks in nsb,but that's usually the summer time.if sharks don't like cold water that's great for us
Anyone find it strangely better that he was Japanese rather than any other culture? I mean they eat dolphin, whales, great white, anything they can get their hands on. Torture it to death. They skin fish alive and serve it on a plate. They fast fry fish and serve it still alive.
