Day: August 14, 2012

What a terrific weather day to have after a weekend like the one that just past! We had some very wet and windy days over the weekend and it was such a pleasure to host two trips in weather conditions like today! My tan is looking pretty good once again :)! We had some nice sized sharks on our first trip with one having some heavy scaring on his dorsal as well as to his body! We have seen this shark on several occasions, but not for a while! We had him on our second trip also and boy was he active! The one shark that was keeping our bait handlers very vigilant must have been the satellite tagged shark of today! This shark was flying all over the place like a bundle of energy! Hope I see You tomorrow again…

Our trip had an early start to it in order to ensure that we had enough time back before the wind started to pick up! I love the choppy seas because it seems the sharks are just more prone to jump in these conditions! They were flying all over the place! We had a few Kelp gulls that were very fortunate not to get chomped, by the sharks, after they were coming dangerously close to the bait line! After a great spectacle of shark viewing we were treated to a roller coaster ride by our skipper! Very entertaining for most on board however slightly nauseating for others! A great combination of sharks and thrills today…
