Official GWS Thread

Great ! I thought about Capitola for tomorrow. Think it can wait a bit. Guess I will work on the boat instead. Uggg.

There is always SWS. (Still Water Sharks ? ) 

Alex

Why aren't they shutting down the beach or there is a public warning or announcement? Usually 1 gws near a public beach or in capitola will draw a response  but 15!! Aptos is 5 min away from capitola. What gives.
 is this a hoax?

Time to walk across the street & treat myself to a heli tour of the GWS

Yikkes!!
i would go somewhere else to swim, fish or enjoy the water. when they are that concentrated, they must be ready to eat something.
Who's been chumming?    

Any idea as to why they are congregating there?  Is there that much food and bait in the water?

yikes, gonna have to postpone the butt hunt for another weekend...

Some of us are hitting Paradise this Saturday!

Seems like they might be trying to load up before heading west to do the nasty.

I want to do a fundraiser - take bids to swim around the cement ship at midnight after rubbing down with pro cure---

That would make a great real-world test of the shark shield. You could bill it as shark shield vs pro cure...

joking aside..a shark shield may just be on my wants list now...no need to be a pussy--but no need to be a dumb dumb  either 

15 sharks one location but still-in our bay X big ass bay X lots of big sharks + Red Triangle choice of fishing grounds= 

+ we are hitting multiple locations weekly and going into 10-240 f,o.w and doing zig zag cover every foot some days lol

=   shark shield research on my mind!!

Contrary to the helicopter company reports, researchers are saying that there were about 15 juveniles in the 6-10' range. Sounds like the reports of 20 footers were greatly exaggerated. 

To be clear though, I'm still not getting in the water regardless. 

I saw 3 headed SW near mile bouy on Sat 6-27 at about 1200 noon.
