Took the new to me boat offshore for its first trip out of Charleston. Ran out to 85 feet and started dropping lines. Had a great day with a few unexpected cobia coming over the rails ( one of which easily maxing out the 30# boga ), more than enough tasty bottom dwellers and an hour or so visit from a 11-12 foot great white. I had never had a great white beside the boat before, all I could think was “wow”. It was very cool!

That must have been an awesome experience. Would love to have seen that.

I think you need to upload a picture of that.
I was fishing near them and managed to get this photo of the shark.

$5 says that guy was wearing Crocs and that’s why he slipped on the deck.

Man, you shouldn’t lanblast Crocks, they are all us old men ware anymore!
Thanks for the hearty chuckle Beaufort.
Thank you for posting your report. You are very fortunate to see a great white shark while fishing and catching some cobia. I saw a great white sharks a couple years ago while freedive spearfishing in Catalina Island. Will never forget that day.
I’ve never seen jaws but know the quotes.
My wife used to be the jealous type, but since she got me some crocs she no longer has to worry. Any man that will wear those in public is surely faithful.

Well played, D-Free.
And we really need some warm water and good weather…

Here is a photo, I had phone troubles so it took some time recovering a picture.
How small does that 24 footer feel when that thing is circling you?
Great picture!

I’ll tell you what, it makes you think about swimming out there. Yeah there a few cobia mixed in with the remora.

You couldn’t jump in and spear a cobia?

Skinny must not have any hell in him, I believe he is fearless on the shark issue. I’d love to dive off our coast, but something about jugging a few fish and having them bleeding that close to me while bringing back to the boat kind of unnerves me.
Nice photo and post 61-whaler.
