    If you've been in the ocean deeper than 2 feet of water, anywhere in the Gulf of Mexico, particularly during May through August, you've likely been within a hundred feet of a shark, if not much MUCH closer.

    A few of my catches:





    All were caught within 100 feet of shore, in less than 6 feet of water.

    This is what I want to go after, but I really need a kayak for bait placement(and I need to be there in summer when big sharks are more abundant close to shore):

    That particular video was taken on Sanibel, where my grandparents spend the winter months, and where I get to swim regularly.

    Lucky for me I've never been in the Gulf

    Jax is on the east coast.. As for those pics, just means that the media is getting better about planting false evidence of sharks in my state's waters
