OK, I stand corrected, but I always thought that the bigger sharks' main feeding ground was in deeper water.

I may well be wrong though. With overfishing more and more are being forced closer to shore to find food.

I will bow to the opinions of those who know more than me, I've never even seen a shark (except in Aquariums)!!

Thats pretty cool. What lake? Ive been to most of the lakes in the SA/ New Braunfels area. But that would be really cool to be fishing and get one of those bastards on your line in a lake.

People believe what they want to believe.

One guy tells me that seals close in to shore attract sharks.

The next guy tells me that the seals wouldn't be there if there were sharks in the water.

But I'm SURE the two sharks in the lake were both attorneys.
