Saw this on Facebook and I thought I'd share. This image was posted by Intent Tackle by an angler fishing the back bay waters between Stone Harbor and North Wildwood. The bass was six inches from the boat when a bull shark came up and finished it off. Super skinny water and nothing showing.
As we all know there has been an increase in shark activity up and down the East Coast the last few years. Not just "Jaws" type sharks, but sharks of all types and varieties. They are here because the bait is here. And their bait isn't just white bait and peanuts, but also striped bass and bluefish. Just look at the reports of spinner sharks being caught in the Raritan amongst the blitzes on bait that has been going on.
While I haven't fished down in the area where this homicide occurred Theresa and I have enjoyed drinks and food at The Lazy Bass which is in North Wildwood right on the Grassy Sound. So if you go and after you get bit off it's a great place for a beer and a bite.
