The Right Kind Of Dorsal Fin

My girl snapped this pic of a curious dolphin that hung out with me for awhile near Vanderbilt Beach last Thursday in Naples.

The dolphins follow the bait along the shore, I have had a few encounters with them that scared the Crap out of me. The cooler water Temps on the Gulf side (usually) keep the sharks away in winter. Great picture!

That happened to me too at Naples pier a couple hours before sunrise last April. One breached 6 inches away from my left arm. I swear I heard them laughing!

Beautiful day at the beach, and glad it was a dolphin. When I first worked offshore in the 1977, I was riding the basket up to the top of the oil rig and there was a large school of either dolphins or porpoises chasing some fish and it was so beautiful from 150 feet up.

Awesome pic! Here in CA, out in the surf, the pods of dolphins swim by most of the time giving us the feeling that we are in the company of protective friends. One surfaced next to my surfboard and looked me in the eye and I was blown away how big they are up close!

same general area you were in - guy had his scoop ripped from his hand by a shark - people from shore saw it heading towards him and were yelling - they saw the fin and tail sticking out - he could not hear them - when he finally noticed bunch of people waving and yelling - he looked left to the shore and shark grabbed his scoop half way down the shaft and kept going - must have seen the shine of it - guy said he had not gone in salt water since - life guard told him by the distance from the fin to tail - it was a good size one

Cool photo but that would give me a heart attack.

The good Lord was with him that day and a scoop is a good trade off for his life. Saw a video the other day of a bull shark attacking a spear fisherman and biting his spear which he shot into his mouth and took his spear gun down deep with him, but at least the spear fisherman was safe. Very aggressive shark.

Being from the north, any dorsal fin would get me out ASAP

Never had a shark experience while metal detecting Florida these past 8 yrs; however, had an 8 ft white tipped shark pursue me for about 50 yards and only 8 ft behind me while I was swimming a mile along Melbourne beach 4 yrs ago. When I got out of the water I was meet by a fisherman with a knife in one hand and a cell phone in the other. He told me about the shark, as I had no idea, and he said I was to far out to help but he was about to call 911, since he had experienced several past episodes of shark attacks of swimmers. While the west coast reveals few sharks during the Winter, the east coast is another story with sharks everywhere and they're aggressive. The Bull sharks are indeed dangerous and aggressive and few realize that they breed in the inter coastal waterways.
