This video is certainly more believable then the last shark fishing surfer we saw. As far as I’m concerned, fishing from a surfboard is a great idea. Seriously, I’d love to have one of these paddleboards for fishing the flats!
This has been a bad week for shark attacks in Australia. Three surfers have been hospitalized, and survived to tell the horrifying tale. I’m not terribly surprised by the amount of attacks considering all of the shark sightings recently – especially since surfers often frequent the same areas as sharks.
This kid was pretty lucky to keep all his toes after a shark bit his flipper.
What you looking at is a fairly common scene at New Smyrna Beach, the shark bite capital of the world. Despite the relatively high possibility of being attacked by a shark, surfers and swimmer still frequent the beach.
Since the first time I saw a barracuda I have spent hours chasing them. I have caught several small barracuda, but despite great efforts I have been unable to catch one that exceeds five feet in length. Big barracuda are few and far between on the island of Tortola, but in Anegada, located north east of Tortola, large cudas can often be seen while taking long walks on the beach. My girlfriend Gillian and I decided to spent four days in Anegada of Christmas this year in hopes of catching some barracuda.
