Did they say Monday NIGHT. Duh! He looked like a seal or other food sharks feed on at NIGHT.

might have been a bull shark out doing some detecting,
We dont get many seals over here...lol. I think if he didnt have to go to the hospital in an ambulance it wasnt really an attack...cause if one really got a hold of you they'd have to take you in seperate ambulances. I saw a small bull shark the other day off Lido but he just sailed right by like I was a nothing but a scallop. (shrug)

Most people freak out and make a mad dash for the shore,i know its hard but the best thing to do is stay still,or the buddy system of course,cut your buddy and swim like hell, fly over clearwater or any of the gulf beaches on any given clear day and there are sharks all among the people,most people are swimming or splashing when they get bitten,always bitten hardly ever eaten.He got attacked by a pinfish.

I got there just as they were bandaging up his foot monday night. Didn't seem as bad as the TV made it out to be, but a bite is a bite, no matter what. Still there were 6 hunters in the water that morning.

I'm just going to ask one question.............Has ANYONE ever heard of a mder getting attacked by a shark? It ain't gunna happen, cuz sharks don't like the field we are putting out. They are scared of it, but I have no proof, other than the fact I've seen them darting around in the surf, a few summers ago, chasing rays. I have hunted nights, evenings, mornings, EARLY MORNINGS, in the surf and no worries. Well, that is not exactly true.....Over the 3rd bar, sometimes the hair on the back of my neck kinda stands on end, LOL! I just kinda head back in slowly. Most attacks are swimmers, who are kicking and splashing. I AIN'T SKEERED, YOU SKEERED?
I saw a shark study on Discovery or some such channel, they were determining if electromagnets could deter hammerhead shark attacks. The hammerheads swam right over their coils with no apparent affect.
I'm with you though, from the first time I hunted Stewart at night a few months ago, I'm hooked. There's nothing like not having to deal with the crowd & the heat.... nice and quiet.

An H-100 will repel a shark to the point of stunning them. I think I will carry a few with me next time I'm in Florida so that if I see one, [size=x-large]BOOM!!!!!!![/size]

Saw a documentary some years back filmed by a respected American film maker.
He had a theory that sitting still was not the way to go.
He tested his theory by setting up a dummy dressed in wetsuit mask etc out a few metres from the shark cage.
A white rolled up and started circling the dummy. Cause the dummy presented no threat, it got closer and closer and then just grabbed it. He conducted this test a few times.
Then the next time he went out, he got out of the cage armed only with a pole about 5' long.
First one white rolled up, then two, then three all slowly circling, getting closer and closer. Then suddenly he lunged forward and jabbed the closest one which absolutely crapped itself. They all maintained a respectful distance after that, and if one did come a bit closer he would lunge out at it and put it back in its place.
His theory is that as long as you keep eye contact with the shark and react in a threatening manner if one gets too close then they are more likely to leave you alone. By keeping still you are presenting no threat and as such they might decide to have a nibble.
He only got back into the cage when the fifth white rolled up, just too many to keep an eye on.
Now you know why he is respected. He's certainly got mine.

Have had a bull roll by, just kept on his merry way, this was during the day. Lord knows what has swim by me at night. About the only things I really worry about is the large blue crabs with bad attitudes, had more than once had blood drawn for samples from them. ( I do wear Shoes, just not high tops.) Also the stingrays can be pretty nasty. Was hunting one night and thought to myself sure looks like a diamond sparkle in the sand. (only one eye was showing) Swing loop over it to see if I could get it to swirl around, didn't move. Next time scrubbed the sand, surprise. So they don't run from the detectors.
