Evolution in progress

January 3rd 2012 19:16
blacktip shark and divers

Are we witnessing evolution? Maybe so.

Blacktip sharks and Australian Blacktips are mating and their off springs are showing up in Australia waters. Scientists have not found just one or two examples of this strange mating but 57!


You can look at it this way--it's not uncommon to find something off center in nature now and then, but 57??????

Here's a brief report that's been popping up on the Net today.




Remember to take the hooks outta yer pocket before ya sit down!

Orca vs. shark

January 1st 2012 03:45
Here's a video that was on my browser this morning depicting killer whales attacking sharks.

That in itself is pretty cool but when a dog gets into the act, the gloves come off.

New Year's Jaws Marathon

December 29th 2011 23:34
For many of us, New Year's day is a day of football but you can start the festivities early this year because Spike TV is running its Jaws Marathon starting starting New Year's Eve starting at 9 A.M. with Jaws 4-Jaws the Revenge. There's not a lot that can be said about the fourth and final offering of the Jaws series. When the movie came out in 1987, the general response was, "Yuck!"

Jaws movie still
Fortunately, the other movies in the series will also be on tap with the original being shown in back to back presentations starting at 7:06 pm.

Notice a lack of fins?

Although it goes against centuries of tradition and will, undoubtedly infuriate countless people, the U.S. state of California is introducing a bill to ban the sale and possession of shark fins, including the serving of shark’s fin soup.

This great shot and other photographs by Jeremy Sutton-Hibbert can be seen by following a link within today's post.

It's no secret that I'm not a fan of shark fin soup although I've never had the opportunity to try it.

The gray areas of life and fishing

January 7th 2011 03:38
Looking for facts to back up my theories, has taught me one thing--when it comes to angling, there are a LOT of opinions floating around out there. That idea was driven home when I ran across this article when I was, as is often the case, looking for other information.

Although the article mentions a debate raging among shark harvesters, the real message is that, too often, policy aimed at fisheries, is determined by, at the best, tainted information because proper studies may not be conducted.

The megamouth shark only SOUNDS ferocious

November 29th 2010 01:59
When it comes to sharks, most people are familiar with great whites, bulls, tiger sharks, and maybe makos and white tips, but there's a BIG three not everyone is familiar with.

Now, when I say "Big three" I'm not talking about maneaters. I mean BIG sharks! The big three are the whale shark, basking sharks, and the ferocious sounding megamouth.

The reality of basking sharks

October 17th 2010 00:52
basking shark

Basking is usually thought of as exposing yourself to pleasant warmth, usually the sun. So, I didn't think it was much of a stretch to figure basking sharks are the usual, run of the mill sharks, swimming near the surface, catching some rays.

Shark Fin Soup Boycott

August 23rd 2010 03:42
The cruelty of shark fin soup has been realized by at least one Hong Kong couple who recently neglected to include the dish in their wedding menu.

shark finning
In many instances fins alone are removed from sharks and they are then thrown back into the water to drown while the fins are sold as a delicacy supposedly to boost sexual potency, prevent heart disease and cholesterol, or enhance skin quality.

Here's a fairly cool video I got the other day from NatGeo.

The vid follows a study on shark attacks in Indian rivers which results in, (duh!) bull sharks.

Sharks in the Ohio River

May 14th 2010 05:40
It hardly made news like the excitement when a shark terrorized Amity, however, a shark has washed up here in the U.S. in, of all places, the Ohio River.It gets even better--it happened in Pulaski, Illinois.

I'll admit, I had to get the map out for this so don't feel bad for saying, "Where?" It's late and I'm tired so, I can't wrap my mind around turning the map I found into a jpeg. Suffice to say, Pulaski is almost as far south as you can get in Illinois and is WAY south of Chicago! And yet it's North of where I live so, go figure!

Dog and shark

March 24th 2010 01:35
If you've ever had a dog, you've probably experienced the heady feeling of the animal presenting a dead carcass at your feet. It's usually something like a rabbit or something long those lines.

Here's something you don't see every day--a dog dragging a shark ashore!

Fishing in a kayak

February 3rd 2010 02:34
Although I have several irons in the fire right now, I'm also giving considerable consideration to purchasing a kayak.

Frequent readers to this blog will know I don't have a boat or even want one.

Will we ever see Jaws 5?

November 15th 2009 01:58
Jaws 5 poster
If fishing isn't your way to pass the time, a movie may be just the thing. If that's the case, you can combine the two with Jaws.

Most people know the story of Jaws--a great white shark terrorizes a beach at Martha's Vineyard. Unfortunately, Jaws also spawned three sequels--none equaling the compelling qualities of the first film.
