Surfing with Mary Lee

At least I know I wasn't alone out there on Friday.

 

How many miles offshore?

 

You could not be anymore boring even if you tried hard.....

 

Get outta here!

 

"we are a global locality of f ags. We are barrel dodgers and bottom turn blowers. Our message is simple: buy our clothing if your a kook who can't surf"

 

She chills at my break once a year or so. Quite a delightful shark, good personality and huge tits.

 

That broad followed me from DE to LI this past week. Yesterday at sundown did feel nice and sharky, though. It was the perfect time to share her whereabouts with my less-that-enthused friend who has been getting into surfing more this spring hehe

'holy sh1t' was said like 100 times in the vid, for good reason.
but at the same since all sharks are tagged, this wasnt too surprising

 

try having one that size come towards you, on your board after it fatally attack a seal. 50ft off shore, Coast Guard beach! pretty much shatt myself!

 

my family will not watch that movie with me! I know every word and it drives them crazy! tiger shark scene, even know the license plate number, registration sticker exp date and what state! wish I had that memory in school!

 

yall snaggers didn't see that picture of mary lee breaching in Asbury park nj?just happened recently

 

If you look at her track from 2015, she swam from the Delaware Bay, right through my back yard, straight across Cape County, and back into the ocean. Biatch is lucky she didn't get shot.

 

In 2014 I watched a great white pop up about 10' from QT and I surfing in Rodanthe about a mile south of the pier. At first I saw this fin pop up and I said, yo did you see that fin, that's must be a little blacktip shark. Then a couple of seconds later I saw this huge dorsal fin come out of the water and realized that was the tip of it's tail I saw the first time. The weird thing was, the shark swam so slow, kept in a perfectly straight line, just the dorsal fin breaching the water every 10' or so. I had the image of the fin burned in my mind, and I'd never seen a fin that color black with gray outline. When we got out of the water, I googled it and sure enough the only shark fin that looked remotely close was a great white. To add to the weirdness, there was a guy who had a shark repellent electronic leash on his boogie while we were out there. I'd never seen anything like it, it was about 6' long and looked like a big box or house arrest cuff where it attached to his ankle. I could only imagine that the shark was stunned or something which is why it was cruising so slow and perfectly straight. It was odd and idk if shark repellent devices work, but I'm happy he was in the water near us with that big ass **** for sure.

I used that Ozark shark tracker later that night and confirmed it was her. Bad news, that accuracy on that tracker isn't quite correct. It said she was about a mile offshore, but was only about 20 yards off shore on the second bars!

Maybe everyone will stay out of the water this Friday swell in Delmarva LOL

 

Faaack thats mental!

Kinda sucks that its injured as a result of a propellar. That shark looks ancient. Probably been on this earth for a very long time. Fascinating if you ask me....

 

I was tracking mary lee pretty consistently a couple years ago. I checked one morning and she pinged far inland in a deep water creek off the wando river. I checked the time of the ping and it was at the peak of high tide. It seemed plausible that she was up there even with the 1500+/- margin of error they had. I checked back later in the day and that particular ping was gone. The natives get a little restless when the great whites get off the beaten path.

 

That is NOT "off the beaten path", actually. She was probably giving birth, releasing pups into safer waters. That is what GWs do. It is "the" reason the females migrate south for winter. Food is also a reason, but NOT the primary, no matter what these new PHONY marine biologists (that grew up in Iowa or North Dakota) tell you. She comes to Cape Cod every summer, feeds on the seals. As long as she gets enough calories, the cooling Fall water temperatures are not a big problem. The seals remain at Cape Cod all year round; so do most male GW--they just go deeper until feeding time, then return to the deep. Females go South to release pups.

You are welcome,

Yes, Dr. Barry, we're making the "same" point. The general public would like to believe that big sharks stay well offshore and never make it into our creeks. I thought it was funny that Ocearch took that ping down bc they didn't want hysteria from big sharks in the creek.
