Just an interesting article http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/...maing-grid7|maing7|dl12|sec1_lnk2&pLid=256890
She swam up the mouth of the Cape Fear River to the Turning Basin a little over a month ago. Glad to see Huff post an article that doesn't take advantage of an opportunity to spin the story to the beat of the far left's drum. I quit reading that site over a year ago since they slid more and more into an opinion blog rather than a dry news blog..... but that's a different issue....
I would bet that any of us that have surfed consistently this fall and early winter have had Mary Lee within a few hundred yards of us. I know she was pinging around CB during winter break.
Used to go flying with grandfather around Pensacola beach, amazing the amount of sharks we would see swimming within feet of people and they had no clue. As much as I don't want to know, I am kind of curious exactly what is swimming beneath me around here.
**** this ****. grab a 12 gauge lets go seal hunting. then we wont have to worry about them coming close into shore to feed. cape cod. killem. block island. kill em
uhhh ...No. South Jax/ ponte vedra is shore pound at high tide in 2-3 ft of water or at most 20 yards out in knee deep water at low tide. Mary Lee... not in the surf break. Sharks ...yup.. Great Whites the size of cars...no
I see you have a problem with the shark. Is it ok if I walk into your house, ruin all your food, and attempt to slaughter you and your family?
they've become a problem when we decided to protect an animal thats now become a problem for all habitats. yes, take them off the protected list. notice these sharks would rarely be seen anywhere close to shore but because the gray seals have been protected now for the past twenty years they come in to feed on them. and no it would be nothing like the way you decribed it anyhow. **** sharks. i grew up in south florida. they suck.
She is way too close for comfort. Definitely not te norm, but she's been chillen very close to shore for the past 3 months. I've been shocked watching how she's stayed so close for so long
Really what they are saying is they only tagged 2 great whites off the North Atlantic so it may be part of a normal winter migration for many more of theses large men in the grey suits.. how bout that.
had a great white swim by thirty feet from me in mass on december third. they dont mind the cold water. think it was 50-52 that day
For sure but there's a 250 yard or meter margin of error on those readings... I was just commenting on the article saying that Mary Lee was in the surf break. South Jax/ponte vedra a mile or so from the pier where the signal came from on a 2-3 ft swell makes a very short wave, literally shore pound or just yards out in fairly shallow water...Now if the past two weeks was some significant or storm swell where it breaks out towards the end of the 400+ yard pier with those deep sloughs between sections then I'd be worried about my feet and her being in the breakers...but that hasn't been the case...surfed there this morning by my lonesome...probably do it again tomorrow...maybe I'm wrong...in which case I'll most likely be the guy attacked...but I doubt THEY (car size Great Whites) get close enough in these small wave conditions on that stretch of beach...however there are spots that break out further around here...

I plan to move to Jacksonville this year, but I may change my mind in the time it takes for me to find a place there. Nothing to do with the sharks either haha.
