pictures of shark in Pensacola surf

I'm going to go out on a limb and despite the lack of anything else in the frame for size reference I'll say that it wasn't that big. The waves are ripples. Looks like a dogfish...long pointy snout.

Makos are also known for the pointy nose you speak of.

but from pic#2 it doesnt look very pointy at all.

I have flown via helicopter the coastal area from PCB to PNS many times. It is not uncommon to see multiple sharks between the first/second sand bars well within 20-30 ft of people. Seldom do you see the traditional "jaws fin" above the water, but they are there........



dadum....dadum....dadadada......

THANKS? :roll:

Just thinking of that Jaws music gives me the chills. I LOVE to see pictures, etc... but my mind needs to NOT think of such things when swimming laps.

From the notch in the tail and sloping fin, my best guess is it's a bull shark. Very common here and best avoided! They are responsible for most of the human shark attacks in the area.

Good eye, 30as. I had to look for the notch, but I think you might be right.
