Have you ever had one of those days when you fish from the beach hoping to catch something tasty like pompano, red fish or flounder . You've especially made that extra effort to be there early in the morning - at first light when there is hardly a soul around . Its at least 2 hours before the incoming high tide. Conditions seemed perfect when you left your house that morning but at the beach you see that the wind has brought over the clouds and created choppy surf ?
After an hour or so of casting out your Carolina rig enticed with shrimp into the first trough between the sandbar and the beach ; you decide to fish for something else like sting ray or leopard shark because you didn't get any bites.
Changing your rig and the size of your hook you put a whole mullet fish onto it. Cast out , but can only get to the 2nd trough. Alas! You need to wade in to the sea to cover the extra distance you need to reach the third trough between the third sand bar and the beach.
Determined you wade into the ice cold sea and stop at your waists depth; just as you finish casting your line you receive a tremendous blow to the back of your right thigh. As you reel down in pain a huge shark fin comes out the water meters in front of you.
You recognize it to be of a great white shark!
Panic stricken you think to yourself: "Do I swim and try and get back to shore or do I freeze and hope it will loose interest?"
Either way you know you are shark bait?
Here is an interesting shark bait t shirt that is bound to strike up a conversation or two?
