Monterey Tax Collectors AKA White Sharks

Hello All,

Just wanted to let everyone know the tax collectors are in heavy right now along with spiny dogfish. Buddy caught a dog tooth right next to me a few days ago then something hit my 60# braid and it was cut instantly right above the hook. Fishing tour this morning saw 3 tax collectors at the first can (shale Island) chasing a school of bait. My guides have been seeing them everyday for the past three days. Just a heads up if you catch something big best to not hang over the side for a bit

Or ever.

Thanks for the heads up.   

I saw one of those dogfish in the murk while diving over that way a few weeks ago...wasn't really sure what it was but later played with GoPro footage and could make out shark tail swimming away...

Stoopid sharks. 

 

Sincerely,

Jim

yep. 

I guess the juveniles from Capitola have finally grown up. That whole place is becoming Sharkey now. Geez

My Nephews were just in town from the east coast
One asked if sharks are here,
I asked him if the water tasted salty

Was out trolling around Pedro Point over the weekend and saw a nice (not dolphin) dorsal fin skimming the water.

I was there also,I saw 3 pilot whales. They have dorsal fins.

Thanks for the heads up. I was out by Shale Island about a month ago and it definitely felt like the tax man was around...

Hard to ignore that feeling!

PFD chk, VHF radio chk, Shark shield... a big check!

I dove that area yesterday afternoon/evening and it was the worst viz (weird cloudy brown stained water with a few patches of clear viz but mostly ass) and temps (57 most of the time whereas a month ago it was up to 63/64) I've had this season and I'd be lying if I said it didn't feel a little spoooky at times... 

Hopefully warms and clears up again in a while......

Any luck?
