What I love are these virtue signaling videos where a shark washed up on the beach stand fools drag it back out the water.

And this is where people like beach tiger will want you to believe that they’ll be standing out on the sandbar, sipping on a white claw when people frantically start yelling from shore yo come in because Of the presence of a shark and he casually, calmly, and normally walks in back to his hey dudes and Columbia shirt.

I’ve lost countless fish off my stringers wade fishing over the years. Nothing to panic about, just rip the head off, toss it away from you and keep fishing.
It amazes me attacks don’t happen more often based on what I’ve seen swimming in the surf. We were in orange beach a couple years ago and I counted over a dozen from our balcony swimming amongst the people.

They’re still active in the area. We’re 10-15 miles down the road from Destin at Navarre Beach this week. Can tell from the bite marks a shark tore this big fish and just watched it wash up on the beach.

No, it’s not.
If it were it would be weighted to south FL/Miami and Tampa. The area in red is much lower density.
The area from Melbourne to Daytona is where the shark attacks happen statistically, heavily weighted around a few inlets where the sharks congregate to eat and breed.

Facebook link, so I apologize, but here is the story from the family of the 15 year old girl who was attacked.

Trappers would go after any large gator reported. They got good money for the hides among other things. That kept the count of dangerous monsters down.

Damn that was tough to read. Prayers to Lulu

Very sobering read. Wonder if they'll ever be able to determine the type of shark?

This was just posted by the Walton County Sheriff's Office on Xwitter:
The reporting on this has been wildly inaccurate. It took me several articles last night just to get the exact locations right, and that included included some relatively local outlets.

National News Outlets,
If you’re wondering why your emails are going unanswered it’s this type of reporting below.
??Let’s get our facts straight. There were not three separate incidents. There were two. In the second shark encounter, two people injured.
??The map used in this story is wildly inaccurate. The second incident happened EAST of the first near Seacrest. NOT Seascape, which is more than 25 miles away. Details matter, especially when criticizing the actions of local authorities.
??The flag system is in place down 26 miles of beach in Walton County. These incidents happened less than 90 minutes apart less than 4 miles apart. Are you suggesting that the very people who helped save these peoples lives could physically control a shark and that attempting to shut down 26 miles of beach could happen that quickly?
??We are GUESTS in the Gulf. We all must accept some amount of risk when entering the water. That DOES NOT take away from these two ladies whose lives are changed forever. But, looking for someone to blame is NOT the answer.

Geez that is awful. Good to see an update. If I'm not mistaken, I believe the older woman in a separate attack is still critical? Anyone heard anything on her?

I spent many, many days in the waters of Daytona Shores when I was a kid in the 5th and 6th grade. Those long rolling waves were great for body surfing or raft surfing. The most common attacks weren't sharks but barracuda because buying shiny bracelets with your name from vendors was popular. That shiny thing flashing in the water was like a lure to barracuda.

Man oh man. Hug your kids today.

Guy next to us in Seagrove was fishing today. He was casting out in between the sandbars. He caught a 2 foot bull shark. He released it. It was Erie watching it swim back out between everyone.

I love how people are filming Hammerheads about the shark attacks. Hammerheads are harmless. It's the ones you don't see that will get you

Man frick sharks. We are realizing the unintended consequences of years of “protect the sharks”
There is a reason there aren’t any grizzlies in California.

Dad asked him how he liked it and he said he liked it fine except for one thing. While he was up in the air he could see how many sharks were swimming down below and he was afraid to come back down.
We just returned from Orange Beach. My son and I always parasail when we go. This time we saw 4 sharks, a big sea turtle, and a pod of dolphins. Very cool.

Do you believe the world's shark population is currently going up or down?
