@biminibrad yall got some shark week love as an island last night.

Was interesting to see the bulls travel off shore and to the end of stream/drop off at certain hours (both tracked) as well as how deep they went I would guess to hunt?

If the “he” you referenced is the shark I want him as my client against jet boaters.net and Bruce after all the shark has a great reason for biting Bruce, it’s a shark. Poor thing may need dental/Ortho work, not to mention physical and emotional therapy. Then there are the legal fees. Hmmm, a lawyer representing a shark. Is this becoming the norm in the u.s. these days?
Not for "real" sharks... only those who "identify" as sharks, also please do NOT assume the shark's gender. hahaha

As for Toothless v Bruce, Trust me, I’m a lawyer. Sworn to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Oh wait, that doesn’t apply too me.

I watched a few shark week shows yesterday. I only find a few topics interesting, like air jaws, but those which focus on bull sharks living in fresh water I pay closer attention to. The reason being that I rarely boat in the ocean so sharks do not concern me. I do boat in the Sacramento River delta which drains into sf Bay and eventually into the Pacific Ocean outside of the Golden Gate Bridge. There are sharks in sf Bay (e.g. last year a video of a great white snacking on a seal inside the golden gate went viral). There have been proposals to divert delta water to Southern California. One of the claims against doing so is that it will increase the percentage of salt and brackish water further north/up river such that more ocean wild life will be able to live further up the delta river network meaning that bull sharks, if any, could move closer to or in the river locations that I boat in.

You don't want to read too much more about how far up rivers Bull Sharks will travel! (like to Illinois in the Mississppi). They don't need brackish water....

Back to the original topic the bite is almost healed. The shark was compensated with squid and I was with smiles and laughs. It is all good. We will cut out the real sharks (litigators, solicitors, expert witnesses, etc).

As for bull sharks, who saw the show tracking them feeding along the Bimini Sands beaches at night?

Bruce that is what I was talking about. The tag and sharkcam was great. Interesting how the moved deeper though as sun came up.
