Sharks while wade fishing

There was a guy who attacked last year around Port O'Connor. Between the sharks and the rays I think I will just stay in the boat.

I thought sharks were cool when I was a kid, had books about them. Always trying to catch them when at the coast.

Then I grew up and matured and learned to hate them. frick sharks.

Hot damn i would have walked on water haha. I did end up back in the water at the same spot later though. Gotta risk it for the biscuit.

Stringer of specs on the waist belt is a feeding call....

Sharkbanz. Surf fish in Breton a lot. Put a band on stringer and on ankle. Have watched shark approach stringer and turn away with sharkbanz attached.

How could you tell what species the shark was? You were able to get a good look at it?

It was on Johnson Beach in Perdido. Clean water. Yeah I think I could tell. Maybe 6 to 8 ft. Not giant but aggressive enough. I saw its fin coming right at me. It looked to have that sort of bluntish bull shark nose. Bull sharks are aggressive. It could've been a different species but I doubt it.

But here's what really freaked me out. I was wade fishing on the south shore of big lagoon when this gigantic fricking thing gingerly swam right by me, one foot in front of me. The water was stained and all I could make out was this fricking unknown animal about 12 feet long. I didn't know what it was. I was momentarily frozen in absolute fear.

I was up to my chest and just started to back out slowly. I could hear my heart beating. It wasn’t until I got back to shore and processed what I saw, and then realized exactly how goddamn big a manatee really is. I'd never been in the water with one and have never seen them in south Florida. When that globulous fricking mass of a mammal drifted right by me. I thought i was about be eaten by a great white or some shite.

Freaked me the frick out. It was worse than the shark.

I’ve read reports and heard from buddies that they are terrible this year.

Sand sharks would F up some stringers when we used to fish Fourchon beach back in the day. We moved to the baskets when they started making them and it definitely helped but would still try and tear open the netting.

Meh, we’d catch some sharks and could feel basket get tugged. Just walk back to the beach and drive further down. Once you caught a couple, fishings done in that spot.
