I fished the basin (GH side) last night and didn't see/ smell anything. Must be on the other side.
Come to think of it I did smell something...I need a shower!

The shark was located 1/4 mile NW from Philben beach. It is pretty mangled up by now. In a couple days it is going to be pretty rank, I am wondering if they will haul the remains out to sea out of respect for the bikini clad beach goers .

If you look closely there is a 30' shark in the background.

Wow. I wonder if it just could have died from old age? I saw one off race point swimming that was about that size.


That stretch of beach is near some pretty high end homes wonder how they will end up dealing with it?
