Things that go "bump" (or chomp!) in the night

Those who know me know of an "incident" at an extreme east end location I fish with a couple of other guys. That scared the bejeezus out of me and although I still fish there I am more careful than ever about the tides, dead-reckoning etc. I do not want to ever go through that again...

As far as the more mundane goes, I am actually afraid of sharks. There, I have fessed up! Despite the fact that I can be found way offshore in the middle of the night on a rock, and don't seem to have a problem on the way out there, I am always apprehensive about stepping off the rock into deep water at the end of the night. I guess it’s because by that time I have had hours to think (and worry) about it. Yes, I know a shark attack on a wetsuiter in the middle of the night on Long Island has never (to the best of my knowledge) been reported but with my luck I’ll probably be that guy who breaks that long-standing record….
