If people knew just how many sharks are swiming around them even in waist deep water you would never see anyone out there. I am in Southeast Ga. St. Simons Island and it is one of the biggest breeding grounds on the east coast, We fish the sound and right off the beach and starting this time of year the small baby sharks are a real pain in th a~~ we go whiting fishing to you guy's north of us i think you call them grounders we catch more sharks than any thing else.anyway i grew up shark fishing off the Jacksonville beach Fl. peir and i was there i think it was 1976 when a good friend caught the worlds record from land hammerhead shark 14ft6in. still holds the record. I also grew up a surfer and had sharks brush me when i was out sitting on my board. This weekend with the teenage girl that was killed they say the shark kept atacking while the surfer was getting her to shore that is very rare sharks usually only bite once and i guess they find out that it is human and does not bite a second time.
