Is it typical for there to be SO MANY sharks this close to shore as there seems to be this year? Does it have something to do with the gulf hurricanes and disturbed food supplies?

Cool. There have been lots of schools of fish jumping out of the water, close to shore. I heard they were being chased by tarpon, so maybe that's why the sharks are coming in closer? When we were on the kayak, the schools surrounded us. I was hoping to see something bigger, but nothing. Perhaps we scared the bigger fish/sharks away. I even went out to the second sandbar hoping to see a fin, anything, but nothing. We did see from shore a sea cow several times, on different days. :clap:

Just like the night of the soiree. There were a lot of bait fish close to shore. Bobby J was throwing his net and catching hundreds of fish, much to his children's delight. Then we saw a big shark closeby. :shark: :yikes:

08-10-10 @ topsail, close to stallworth. first pics were at 0720, the pictures here are of a (the?) shark that i happened to see at 0740. i took the pics a couple steps off the shore (the fizz from the waves crest breaking on the shore can be seen on the second pic). there were hundreds of fish swimming quickly eastbound along the shore, too.
