Shark Attack Off Chatham!!!
 

One seal was munched to death in close to shore....witnessed by some swimmers......they think maybe a Great White! A large pool of blood in the water followed the attack!:kewl:

Cool, maybe it will bring in some friends and vacation around the Race for a while.

alright!!!!!!!

It was on the news at 6!

nice.. who thinks they can hook up with it?

liveline seals.........:bounce:

:happy: :happy: :happy: :happy: :happy:

:btu: :btu: :btu:

Swim Charlie swim!

I've been trying for years


I did good Sat. keeping my plugs and fish away from the thieves, I went 5 and 1, got a few 10 lb blues in just ahead of those hoovers. The last one I let go and it stayed right in the wash afraid to swim away :D


That is good news Larry, if that keeps happening though it might be bad...................................





















bad for the seals :hihi:

Nauset surfers will be next!

Shark attack
 

I would tend to think it was a blue shark.
Water is still too cold for a great white .But for blue sharks they will come in close....

ya that would suck Mike if a surfer gets tasted by one, but then after that who knows what will happen, if they bother to scatter those seals or if they close beaches :(

Mac is right, send them to the Race, plenty of heavyweights up there to provide some nice meals to those great whites.

Mythbusters proved that they don't eat humans :hihi:





the water off Chatham is not too clod for great whites

The water is definitely NOT too cold for a great white. We have seen 2 different ones this year east of Nauset. The larger ones can tolerate even more severe temperatures than most think. Mother nature at her finest; lots of seals around so an apex preadtor comes to survive i.e. feed/eat seals. God bless the sharks that eat the seals.
Let nature take its course out there. I love great white sharks.

Shark week facts....#1 white sharks are warm blooded so can hunt effectively in cold water :sick: they have body temp's 15 degrees higher than normal sharks, same with similar sharks in its species ...alaskan salmon sharks =cold hunters....the cold doesnt slow them down....

I just came back from a week in Wellfleet and there were so many seals both in the bay and along the beach that a shark could just swim along the beach taking a bite here and there until it had to order a Jenny Craig meal just to keep swimming...

I don't care if the damn sharks start eating the kayakers...hopefully they have some sort of natural two-way radio!!!
Yeah shark week!!!
Rick

Anyone plan on going skishing this week? :eyes:

Not a confirmed shark attack?????


This was no boating accident!!!!!!!! It was a shark.

they don't want to scare the people :rollem:

it WAS a shark:uhuh:

Had one in the 2nd or 3rd wave jigman refused to grab the leader.... :vamp: :vamp: :vamp: :vamp:

I hear they sink if you shoot them is this true?? :rotf2:

Maybe it was a big bluefish...


F'N EXCELLENT!!! SEND 'EM MY WAY!!! HIP HIP HOORAY!!!

Karl, I told you to keep in on the leash.

I can just hear the tree huggers now..That mean old shark just attacked the poor innocent seals:smash:

Great Whites live primarily in cold water chasing seals.

Blue sharks don't eat seals.

South Africa average water temps: 9°C (49°F) to 20°C (68°F)

Monterey Bay average water temps are the same.

Those are two primary GW habitats. And full of seals.

Water temp at Nauset this past week: 71.

yeah but what about that great white in woods hole a couple years ago, the temps then were above 73 im sure, and he was there

Looks like a harbor seal (or, what's left of one). Too bad - I kinda like them - they've never bothered me.

We've always known that it was only a matter of time before something came in to exploit the food source. I want killers!!

You aint kidding KF, I was looking at CapeCodTimes.com to try and get more details... couldnt even find mention of it!

The only thing that would have made this better is if Whitey had his snack in full view of a boatload of tourons who forked over big bucks for one of those lame "seal watch" cruises. :humpty:

Who the hell would spend money to see what you can see right from the Lighthouse almost any day of the week?

I might pay for a seal watch trip if they could guarantee that the great whites would be included with some "big air" displays!:lurk: :btu: :bl:

Haven't you been watching shark week?! :hee:

They tolerate almost any water temp if there's food to be had

Yup--if they can swim in San Francisco Bay and off Monterrey, Chatham is way comfortable for them :humpty:

Oh that would have been priceless! I'd pay to watch the watchers.
Mike were you at the run with a cruiser yesterday afternoon?

Around 7-7:30 in the evening? Yup.

Water is definately not too cold. I spent a few summers a 100 miles north of san fran on the coast. The surf would be 57 or 58 in mid August. Some of the highest concentrations of whites in the world in those waters. Know a young girl who lost her leg to a white while surfing north of san fran ( that was about 8 years ago), she was 15 at the time and luckily lived. Water at the time would have been no more than 60 deg. or so... I was out friday off the vineyard sharking. Came to realize that I know 3 people, directly or close friend of a friend, who have been attacked by sharks. Tiger, white and bull. Thinking maybe I should play their birthdays in the lotto.

Any trollers out there wanna volunteer to tow a plywood seal silhouette around with the umbrellas rigs and the video camera rolling? :wid:

You ARE aware that its illegal to screw with Great Whites?

Great Whites? What Great Whites? :confused: I thought it was a "boating accident" and that the water was too warm anyway. :faga:

Would be fun to screw with the seal lovers if such a locally occurring video were to "materialize" in the media. And as I am typing this WRKO news just reported that "witnesses reported a seal was attacked by a shark."
