Hey Fla.west coast Th'ers, ? for you

Have any of you noticed a trough forming between the beach and
sand bar ,or is it still sanded in where you are?I have seen the
trough get as deep as 8-9' and have old shell and rock in it in the
past .It's still sanded in down here pretty bad.No old stuff showing.
Gets pretty old after a few hunts.Just curious how it is up and down
the coast. HH Joe

Joe,

There is a real nice trough between the beach and sandbar at Nokomis beach near the north inlet of the Venice jetty.

Last time I was there, I found a ring in the trough. But you have to watch out for the waves - they can come in pretty fierce if the wind is blowing in from off-shore.

Yep I was seeing a nice trough between shore and the sandbar last time I was there............

Well hopefully some are seeing some shell or rock in the deepest parts,
as lately I just see sand,with barely any shell,down here.That's from
all the beach renourishment.Even a more coarse type of sand.Not even
close to the way it was years ago.Hope they leave it alone for a while.
Good luck on your beaches,where ever they may be.HH Joe

I think it is possible sharks could be attracted but if it happens just turn down your Thresherhold

Seems sharks are attracted to small electrical charges like a short in a wire that produces true electronic voltage. These are very weak electrical voltage outputs that are very small like those emitted by living organisms including humans.

The good news is that sharks are repelled by electromagnetic impulses such as those emitted by metal detectors. I found this patent for a shark repelling device on the internet. I also found other studies explaining that sharks are confused by electromagnetic field generators used by the navy on submarines and other vessels. There are also other patents for electromagnetic shark repellent devices that hook to surfboards, kayaks, life jackets, etc. Bottom line is that I still don't trust the beasties. I am watching for them all the time.

Here is the Patent Info on the device and a photo. Looks an aweful lot like a metal detector doesn't it?

Title: Shark repelling device

Document Type and Number:United States Patent 7270083

Abstract: A device for repelling selected aquatic creatures, such as sharks. The device consists of an electromagnetic field generator for generating an electromagnetic field that repels sharks and is supported by a buoyant device. This provides a shark-free region about the device. Multiple devices can be connected together to form an array of repelling devices, thereby extending the shark-free region.
