Have ya'll noticed a lot more sharks present inshore this year. Don't know why but I'm seeing 5-10 a trip at least in the 5-7 foot range, these sharks are in extremely shallow water, had one Saturday bite a 17inch trout into at boatside in 3 foot of water
just wondering why they are so thick this year.

Mojokoko and I decided to use up our live pinfish on the way in Saturday 6/16 and stopped in a couple of spots between bird rack and lighthouse. Almost all our remaining live pinfish (bout a dozen and a half give or take) were bitten in half by sharks of various sizes. I reeled one right up to the boat, and it was a small bull. Also watched the boat next to us pull up about a 3 foot shark (not sure what kind, but not a bull) on St Marks reef earlier in the day. They're definitely out there in numbers this year.

We were coming in from DI not too long ago and passed a hammerhead that was every bit of 12ft.
It wasn't too afraid of us being that it just dropped about 2 ft. under the surface and waited for us to leave. We were in a 23 ft'er and the famous line from Jaws passed through my mind...."I think we're gonna need a bigger boat."

The main reason that all these sharks are inshore is that everyone is using them dang Gulps! Them smelly things got them sharks all in a frenzy for scollop season! Everybody go ahead and explain all this to your wife and kids!

That bull shark Tom Keels was picking on went and got all of his buddies. They are waiting for him to get back in the water.

He started it.
The best explanation for the increase of sharks is the salinity of the water is much higher this year with the lack of rain. This brings normally pelagic sharks much closer to shore.

It has been consistently much higher this spring. ~35ppt
