It's the yellow kayak. Old time sea kayker buddy from Scitiute once told me...... Never buy a yellow kayak.... Sharks love them.

I have never had a shark seem to be interested in me at all. Thirty years ago, I was black-water diving in Cooper River, inland from Charleston, when something slammed into my leg. I had a severe bruise there & you can still see the ruptured blood vessels in my leg from it.

I would bet money it was a Bull.
Spook a bull and you will get slammed... even if on its way out... there is a reason it got the name "bull".

And whilst on the subject of ... "shark names and why",,, heh
Tiger sharks also fit their name... very appropriately.

I'd hunted the gulf coast of FL in the water a LOT. Also a few times at night, but only knee deep. Never any drama except once when something kept bashing between my legs and hitting the critters my scoop was unearthing.

I've moved over to the east coast of FL now, and to be honest I'm a little nervous about water detecting on this side.

I don't see many water hunters in this area. Is it because of sharks, or just the waves?

Depends on your east coast location. There's a lot of leased areas for treasure, get caught detecting in the water in the Sebastian-Vero Beach area and you could detecting some big problems.

smallfoot.....i used to wade the flats in the bahamas and fish at night. The bahamians thought i was crazy....they told me a story of how a woman was wading at night.....she was bitten on the calf by a small blacktip shark. As she tried to flee she stumbled and fell in the shallow water.....she was torn apart by small blacktip sharks.....she bled to death and had multiple bites on her body......i was told this story by natives on Andros Island when I was in my teens....i believe this happened in the late 50s....when my family had just moved to the bahamas.

Reminds me of the time one of my diving buddies wanted me to go with him spear fishing at night in the Indian river around the bridge. He was doing good on snapper that night and the dummy was towing a stringer full behind him. He told me that something was tugging on his stringer and it got so aggressive he just knew it wasn't the speared fish. When he turned to check on it, he realized it was a huge hammerhead. He told me he gave the stringer away...

https://nypost.com/2020/10/08/shark-attacks-man-in-florida-leaving-him-with-8-inch-gash/ ok ok.....I know....its not the keys. But south beach is the mecca of shallow water beach detecting. This time of the year is good shark fishing.....cut one off today after hooking one. So be ware for a month or 2......black tips take small bites, hes lucky he didn't fall down in the water because it would only take 3-4 sharks to rip you apart in small bites !!

Yeah aware of that.. thanks.. I am further north.

We used to kitesurf next to the Skyway Bridge at night near the shipping channel.

You really did NOT want to fall and lose your board.

"body dragging" for 5 minutes looking for it, in the dark, with a light stick zip tied to your waist was basically trolling... and it was truly scary.

 

[Blak bart]

Remind me not to do that !! Wow that does sound scary !!

 

[Xraywolf]

Sharks have gotta eat, same as you and me.
[I am doubting it takes much to provoke an average shark], probably being in the water where they can catch and eat you is provocation enough.

 

[Mr.Excavator]

Most sharks are curious but not interested. The Four to watch for are Great white, Bull, Hammerhead and Tiger. They will go out of their way for an attack.

No....im a conch.....someone who was born and raised in the islands.....alot of us are fisherman and we fish for everything including sharks. Everything is regulated by federal permitting and government observers.....all sharks are landed whole and all parts are sold.
