Beaches closed yesterday...GW sighting

[Rockport24]

too bad, I was going to get on the boat with Quint

[Mr. Sandman]

I think there was a single legit sighting from a plane off south beach but several others jumped on the wagon....and saw them all around the island.

I don't know about the GW population but there are plenty of sharks around close to the shore. Just take a boat around the island on a calm day, you'll see them.

If there was a GW off of State Beach I would be there in less than 5 min swimming live a bluefish off my newZeeBaas

"What about the shark Chief?"

maybe by two migrations we'll be back to
"normal" and the sea lions will have been
naturally selected from nuisance to negligent.

You like being fined and having your boat seized?

[Mr. Sandman]

First, I was kidding (mostly)

But, name one case where that has happen.

If you did hook a GW and released it or it broke off I doubt any charges would be brought or boats would be seized.

Didn't mundus bring in a GW? Did they seize his boat?

Not after they went on the endangered list.

Anyhow the sum total of the fight would be: either fish picks up bluefish, bites right through your leader and never notices you were even there or fish picks up bluefish, one tail thump, all your line is gone, the end. Grats you just left a fish trailing 300 someodd yards of braid or mono. Or the fish would look at you and laugh at your puny ZB.
