I would think in most places around here, odds are exceptionally low of a serious shark encounter. Your odds of getting whacked by a poorly rigged kite or similar are much higher, imo. But, some areas are much more frequented by sharks than others.

Areas with good current, drop offs (like going from 3 to 90 feet like in some areas around Egmont), and murky water are prime shark feeding zones. I use to shark fish quit a bit and I have noticed they feed more with a good tide, especially outgoing.

Given that info, I would avoid channels b/n grass beds during strong currents, especially if you see tons of action and bait. Odds are low of an attack, but if you are concerned, you can avoid certain areas and lessen your chances.
Overall though, I wouldn't worry too much.

I also wouldn't swim at Egmont for two hours in certain areas and expect a good outcome though. :mrgreen:
