I snorkeled a spot I fish two years ago with my brother. We were pretty close when he tapped me and pointed over my left side. I turned to see a 5 - 6 ft. yellow eyed shark with a very tall dorsal fin that I later learned to be a sandbar or brown shark. Needless to say I was extremely nervous as the shark was between us and the shore but it just kept going like we weren't there. We bailed after that. I have been snorkeling with sharks before but there was something about this one that bothered me. I think the fact that it was so close and I never saw it coming was what rattled me. To this day my heart sometimes jumps out of my chest when I wetsuit this area. There are sharks out there, more than people are willing to accept but at they end of the day they will usually leave you alone. Towing dead, bleeding fish in with you will certainly draw unwanted attention.
