I have lost codfish to sharks while fishing out at cox's and I've seen sharks close to the beach off the island and Montauk. A good freind of mine once caught a 5 foot mako while fluking off Miontauk, the shark swam up and ate the short fluke he had caught. We've caught lots of shraks of various species at 600 X 800 which isn't very far from the southeats corner of the island. Brown sharks breed and have their pups inshore, so it wouldn't be the least unusual to see one in the bay. I only saw TV pics of the sharks off Gansett, and those were just profiles. If I has to bet, I'd say they were blue sharks. I certainly hope that's what they were because I was surfing down by the coast guard station the two days before the sharks were spotted.
