Jersey Jaws?????

[Fish Stix]

Yeah this year is nuts. The amount of blue water life I've seen inshore this year is fantastic. Very cool to see everyday. We have already seen a school of bluefin ripping water, Mahis all over, turtles, cobia, porpoise, whale, tuna chicks are everywhere, head boats are catching yellowfins and now a white shark today. If I were to guess it was probably around 12-15ft atleast. Came completely airborne. About 30yrds away. Very cool.

i saw a hammerhead in delaware bay when i was a kid and a tiger in the ragusa canyon as a teen now i need to see a great white in my twenties. I remember now jerry and wayno had a white try to eat a fluke a few years ago too, just think it be such an awesome sight to see . i mean i am an apex land predator and they are the apex oceanic predator we could share stories of eating sea lions.Kris did you see any blues or albies or anything jumping or on the screen? just wondering what it was eating

I doubt a 12-15 foot great white like he saw is going to eat bluefish very often. I believe they typically eat porpoise, sea lions, whale calves, dead whales etc. I think chasing around small fish like blues and false albacore would be wasted energy. I am certainly not a marine biologist, but if adult sized great whites are hanging inshore they could be eating ocean sunfish and porpoise. I thought they typically liked cooler water, and once it got into the 70's they split.

thats what i was thinking too you do not get big by expending energy (see pofile pic) but it wouldn't be around without a food source, bluefins maybe? seaside bathers?

We had a small 5-6 white grab a fluke on the axle a few years back. My friend hooked one (maybe the same fish) in the same area and fought him to the bought only to realize it was a white Small guys but I'm sure mama is around too. I saw a monster sharking once but they definitely come inshore for some reason in summer, just not sure what.

Not too far off of Sandy Hook is reported to be a great white nursery. That would explain it.

saw a show yesterday on shark week on how the seals are spreading down the coast with g whites coming to. c cod has a resident population of whites eating the seals so not hard to imagine them coming here as well. just look at all the different stuff around now

Anyone else have any run ins this summer? Always has been my dream at sea to see a great white maybe I do not have to go to South Africa after all!

Couldnt have said it any better myself (the dream portion). Looks like i might go searching for that amazing sight sunday if the weather is nice like its supposed to be
