baby salmon shark @ waddel beach 2008/08/16 (also one @ montara)

John bro ... ease up on Dan.  I don't read his posts as being annoying.  They came off more like detective work to me.

hmmm, maybe detective work as in like inspector clouseau, but yeah you are probably right. anyway now my eye has this funny tick...

Thanks for the intel on the salmon shark beachings. fills in a gap.

Salmon, Mako, GW! I don't give a S#IT what you call it!.....IT'S GOT SHARP TEETH and a big mouth full of them. Krazy-Wierd in all counts.
I wouldn't be trying to revive that thing in the water, they can turn to touch its own tail, and take a taste of you....not that you'd bleed to death, but it might leave a mark.
Thanks for the head-up J!   I should have listened to your swell dropping prediction and came out fishing with you Sunday...it was flat!

Dan,

you come off as a Doubting Thomas. you doubt the identification as salmon shark, misread that at the end of the day somebody still thought it was a GWS (nobody did). next you wildly speculate it is a mako. then you complain about the lack of a picture, and post one yourself but with no identification (salmon or mako?)

and now you wonder why you are annoying me? 

look, it was an odd occurence in my ocean experience. I posted cause I know there are people here like bsteves and pole pole and others with significant knowledge or experience. pole pole posted the info I needed to learn more and I did that and posted the link so others could learn that salmon shark beaching in northern california is not all that uncommon.

I hope that is clear to you. If not, well no big deal. some people never learn and being annoying is not a crime after all.

 John , I understand what you a saying and you have read me completely wrong ! Don't know what your issues are or why you have such a big chip on your shoulder ,even after an apology you are still agressive . I can't see any reason for me to reply anymore to this thread as nothing will come of it .

Dan

Dan, you get the trophy from me for passive-aggressive behavior, that is for sure,  . every sentence you write has a back-handed comment in it doesn't it? sheesh.

regarding the sharks twisting to bite, that could happen:

WOW!..i had no idea they "specialized" in that act....i just know they can bend like a snake, thinking the first thing it's gonna do when it starts feeling better, is BITE the closest thing to it.

WX ?......when i got to the beach on sunday, it was flat but blowin hard from the south, I then drove down to Montara and it was almost about to cap-out.
What was the wind down there....it was not as pea-soupy as it was fri.
...i'm a WX freak and need to log these types of things into my "don't waste my time looking for ??" log.

not sure of the weather on sunday at the bean, but one thing is true and that is that the wind is not constant on the coast, especially later in the summer as the whole golden gate wind funnell thing starts up. you get some back eddies up and down the coast where it's not as windy.

thx for the WX links!....it took a few years&tears to realize this Coastal Phenom', but I'm still trying to figure it out and every detail helps me sleep easier at night before a trip.
