Shark Attack!

I prefer my gator problem, I can fight them, if I had to. Bull sharks are real bad, they can live in fresh water, I don't know how long, but some have been caught far up from the mouth of the Mississippi.

Cubsfan,
Which bayou do you live on? I'm on Boggy Bayou and now I'm concerned as my bride enjoys paddleboarding and jumping off our dock. I've had the same thing happen to a couple big fish (40-50lbs) when I'm offshore 20-30 miles but...DANG...that's to close to home!

I've heard of at least one bull shark that was found round a thousand miles up the Mississippi.

Had a shark take my whole tuna except the head while deep sea fishing off ARUBA.

Yup ! It was caught in Alton,
Illinois, about 15 miles north of
St. Louis, Mo. ! That's a
lo-o-o-ong way from the Gulf !

I understand the problem for a fisherman, but I really feel we should not be killing sharks unless we are planning to eat them. They provide a necessary function, and you won't fix the problem by killing some of them

Last summer I caught 3-1/2' bull shark in my creek.

Did it make good tacos. Shark tacos are premium table fare. A good friend from Tampa spoiled me down there eating them. Only sharks we have around here are LOAN sharks. Somebody else can see if they are good eating not me.

Sharks in general aren't the problem; bull sharks are another story ! Since they can tolerate not only brackish but actual fresh water, they're not only a problem for fishermen, they are a
SERIOUS hazard for swimmers (and their pets) as they can be quite aggressive ! Personally, I consider them a much more serious threat than even the 'whites' !

Most of the shark experts do too. There are a lot of them, they are very aggressive, and they frequent areas used by humans more than most. That's pretty much a trifecta.

Bull sharks are one of the few sharks that can go way up river into fresh water. They are also considered to be the must dangerous to man.

As mentioned, the furthest inland
that a bull shark has been known to go in fresh water is Alton, Illinois, which is 938 miles
upriver from the Gulf; now tell
me, just WHO in their right mind would EVER expect to see a
shark while swimming in the
fresh water of our heartland ?
The fact that they can do so is what makes them so scary !

Like many of us, it was
probably on a see-food diet;
it ate whomever/whatever it
could see that looked good !

I don't eat sharks. I never found a way to get the ammonia out! Any way I tried they still come out tasting like a just used diaper smells
