June 18, 201511 yr Numerous shark attacks and sightings in North Carolina this week. Staying in Ocean Isle all week and the following video was less than a mile from where we have been swimming all week. :eek: Video of shark at Ocean Isle Beach hammers home dangers | StarNewsOnline.com

June 18, 201511 yr It's all along the east coast. It's the Atlantic Ocean in June. My advice would be to purchase polarized sunglasses and don't let your kids go out past knee deep.

June 18, 201511 yr Stay out of the deep first cut during high tide and stay out of the water period at low tide. Never use boogie boards or other similar flotation devices. And avoid piers, deep drop offs and areas where feeder streams enter the ocean.
June 18, 201511 yr Most have happened in knee deep water. The two attacks were in waist deep water. Knee deep is good...waist deep is too far. With polarized glasses, you can see sharks and at least have a chance to get out of the water. The safest place is the tidal pool after the water goes down (about 2 hours before low tide)
June 18, 201511 yr Author One day at the beach is more than enough for me, but Mrs. Lawnboy and DLG's can't get enough of it. :no: Thank God we have a pool at this house we are staying at.
June 18, 201511 yr I caught a 300-lb bull shark about a mile off the coast in HHI last week. After seeing that thing up close...trust me, you don't want to be in the water with it
June 18, 201511 yr Author So does this mean if Lawnboys last BGP post is "JAWS" we all know what happened? I have an ample supply of printer parts to fend off these menacing beast. :lol2:
