    With the forecast looking promising for tomorrow, I thought I would put up a P.S.A for all those in the OBX area. Check out http://www.ocearch.org/#SharkTracker ...A 14 ft Great White named Katherine has been hanging out along the beaches the past couple days. Just FYI.

    I've definitely had my share of sightings and bumpings with the grey suits. I don't really worry about them...if they wanted me I'd be a gone-er already - just thought I'd send out a news flash that a known big mamma is checking out the NC coast. The wind has been picking up here! I hope the forecast stays true!

    That is incorrect. Every shark in the ocean has been tagged by Ocearch. If you look at the shark tracker and you don't see one near by you are safe.

    Oh so all them Cape Cod sharks have made it down to their winter homes already......like, they have already bypassed New Jersey?

    Good. I think that is fair since southerners are more rugged outdoorsy types.....So youse guys deal with the sharks..Thanks.....

    that's some good advice then.

    Nah man, saw a little guy once when I was a kid, and oddly enough he was swimming away from me.

    I was ran out of the water by a huge shark Sunday around 3pm. Not gonna say a white, but I caught a glimpse of the dorsal and my buddy who I was out with saw the dorsal and tail out 20 yards from him. Big ole triangle...

    We were the only ones at the particular spot for at least 3/4 mile.
