Sharks at Bathtub Beach, Florida

[flylow]

Some times you can see alot of spinner sharks off the coast and a lone hammerhead in the group. Tuesday they were in small 3-4 small groups and were moving in different directions around the surf. It seems that near the Stuart Jetty on the north side a lone shark or two will hang out during the winter. I ain't around in the summer months. The water from the nuclear power plant futher up north draws the fishermen and an occasional shark. Not a great place to fall on a downwinder. However, on most flights up and down the coast it is not common to see them. It must be migration season and certain times when the water is warm that they appear near the shore? It seems to me that the water being clearer below Palm Beach enables you to spot them more easily on the way to Key West. Maybe a shark every mile. And then a day later see nothing but stingrays and porpoise. No sharks.
Hardly any attacks for the number of sharks in the migration and the number of people swimming or fishing near them is truely amazing.
