Sharks and Seals
 
There was a confirmed report in the Cape Cod Times (July 16 I think) of a shark (tentatively identified as a great white) taking a seal off of a Chatham beach.

Today, a friend of mine (very reliable) reported a shark taking a seal near Race Point, and another shark taking a seal a few yards (3rd wave) off of Coast Guard beach in the last day or so.

I'm wondering if the "tree huggers" and PETA types are going to wait until a shark injures or kills a swimmer or surfer before we can do something about the exploding seal populations on the northern cape and Monomoy? :mad:

guess its time for a road trip . Ill just set up my lounge chair , drinks and my camera and wait for the show . maybe Ill see some fox eat some plovers too .

about time the word got out in the shark circles that dinner is being served on the cape . Tell your friends " best eats in the ocean "

Looks like the sharks are about to solve the seal problem.

Problem is that they probably won't make a significant dent in the population and we'll just end up with seals and sharks.

I second that.............Here's video of a 23 foot great white off of Chatham 3 years ago. Not to close, but close enough...10miles out and estamated over 3000lbs. Just click on the great white part1 & 2 they are a little long, but pretty cool to watch.

Unfortunately, that has been what I have been thinking the last few years
