great white
 
in Woods Hole? Just saw it on the news. A big one is roaming around in the estuaries trying to find its way out.

I wouldn't want to be wading around in there :eek:

MikeTLive 09-23-2004 05:26 PM

so, maybe there WAS agreat white up here last month?

CAL 09-23-2004 05:49 PM

You see something Mike?

Maybe someone could make a chum slick all the way to the back side to take care of all the seals :devil:

partsjay 09-23-2004 07:08 PM

that would be insane.....that great white would have a field day.:D

They already pulled a half a seal carcass off Nauset beach a couple weeks ago - a huge seal bitten in half by a great white. Locals saw it and not much was spoken about it.

Give him directions to the backside beaches... lots to keep him busy, there...

kippy 09-24-2004 08:12 AM

I'm surprised there aren't more sighted along the outer beaches with all the damn seals out there. Either that or like Slip said it's just not talked about...

Roughly a dozen to 15 great white sharks annually migrate up and down the East Coast as water temperatures rise and fall because "they like 50-degree water," McKiernan said.

Would all the tree-huggers have a heart attack if I went out and caught it ?

Are Great Whites a protected species on the east coast ?
We catch them in California all the time.

well you just broke a federal law :smash: :smash: :smash: :af: dumba$$ :af:

Navy Chief 09-25-2004 12:47 PM

Hey, I'm talking 20 years ago. Great Whites are like Bunker up by San Francisco. Nobody cared. We wouldn't kill em or anything. I mean what would you do with it?

There was a guy in San Diego 2 years ago that caught and killed a Great White from a kayak. Didn't hear anybody beefing about it.

Surfcastinglife 09-25-2004 01:11 PM

didnt kill them?? great on the bbq???............:hidin:

Navy Chief 09-25-2004 01:15 PM

No, we didn't eat them. Just playing with you.

We did used to catch them out by the Farallon Islands when I was in High School though. This was 24 years ago. I gather that it's illegal to kill a Great White, but is it illegal to catch and release it? Is it one of those, you can't target the species deal ?

I searched the regulations for federal atlantic fisheries and found

"A person may fish for white sharks with rod and reel, provided the person releases such fish immediately with a minimum of injury and that such fish may not be removed from the water."
