re: Sharks in Gulf Shores

To the guy who wades with swimmers: don't wade by swimmers. Yeah it's usually fine to wade if Blacktips are in the water. My buddy got bit by one once while surfing and he said the Coast Guard paperwork was the worst part. Plus, the majority of Blacktips that would be around you if you're wading are probably less than three feet long.

Was there last week. saw a couple of sharks, biggest was about 4 foot. and yes, being the dumbass that you are for wadefishing on a beach with people everywhere, I hope you do get bit. can't fix stupid

maybe he was fishing and then the beach people showed up?

wade fisherman has just as much right to the beach as swimmers...

and unless they are chumming.. they aren't "attracting" sharks...

yeah last time in OB.. .lil choupique was fishing with soft plastics. and was about 1oo yards past the closest swimmer...

some guy on the beach was bitching about him fishing and that he was gonna go out there and put a stop to them fishing... I politely told him... his dad would be out there to stop you and it might not go like you think it will.. because his dad is a bad combination of a crazy and capable....

oddly his whole crew was drinking beer and wine coolers out of glass bottles..and the worst injury on the beach that week was from one of their broken glass bottles...

oh yeah.. when the girl cut her foot on the broken glass - what did they do..... yep.. took her into the surf to was out her foot.... can't fix stupid is right.
