Sharks are real thick

Sharks are all over snatching fish as you reel them in.

They have always done this but now it’s worse

Friend lost almost every fish on a trip he said

He said the sharks were trained to set up off the shrimp boats and dine on what was thrown out from the by catch.

Now there are few shrimp boats around the area and they now congregate near any recreational fishing vessel

Seems logical




I haven't followed this thread, so forgive me for jumping in.

Years ago, Jewfish were a problem for few of us. We caught them and thinned them out, on a few fishing holes.Jewfish are illegal to keep, now.

More years ago, we'd go out very early to meet the shrimp boats cleaning their nets. Two cases of beer.......they'd give us all the by catch we could stand.

We moved about a few hundred yards, and get down current of them. Caught yellowfin until we were tired. 

I'd kill every shark I could if I lived there. I'm guessing, there would be no impact on the shark population.
