I can now officially say I've been attacked by a shark. While raking sand eels about 4:00 am this past Monday, I felt a tug on my eel bag, I lifted the bag out of the water to find a 2 foot spiny dogfish firmly attached, trying to munch my bait!

At 4:00a, and barely awake, it was quite a start to see this toothy little rascal trying to make off with my hard earned striper french fries.

I tried to drive a few eel rake tines into the shark, but he made haste and so did I, but not before he bit a 3-4 inch diameter hole in my bag. They're everywhere! Who says they're endangered?

	Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn.
