Hey Optiker, What I find interesting is the fact that one Great White Shark was tagged (Mary Lee) and after found to be all over our coast and inter coast. I often wonder just how many are around? They are not going to get full eating little fish and I’ll bet a nickel they eat a lot of big Reds. A 3 thousand pound Shark would sure make a red jump!
I’ve never saw what you posted, but I will not call B.S. by any means! Thanks for posting. Nature is amazing.

Dave, is an up and up guy! If he says he saw a Red jump, he saw one!
I’m with you Optiker,
Saw the same thing same situation on Saturday. Running up the Cooper, straight ahead something jumps out of the water.
About 4ft Long with white belly.
I was to far away to see the head or back but it fully cleared the surface of the water in a semi standing up position and fell back in on it’s side.
I was on the Cooper Sunday as well. Was headed back to bushy park when it started POURING down rain. The 2nd turn before getting to the submarines me and two other friends got to see a bull red breach the water completely. Never seen anything like it before in my life. Also about 40 foot of water. Was around 6pm.
No s$#t! Thats 3 in the same rough stretch of river on the same day. weird!
One day last year there was a dolphin that would raise his head slowly out of the water vertically, look around, then slowly back down. Almost like he was standing on his fin. Cant make this stuff up…
Fred67 we were in pretty much fresh water, so maybe not Mary Lee but bull shark, possibly…

There was a dolphin in the harbor yesterday jumping getting big air, like sea world status. It looked like he did a flip one of the times but I didn’t see clearly.
I have seen reds boiling out of the water like finger mullet but they had a dolphin in pursuit. One thing interesting was I saw a large shark in 75 ft last weekend with 6 nice cobia following along. Had a chicken rig on my caster so I did not get to cast to them before they disappeared.

Optiker, on a whim after reading your post I bought Rumbling of the Chariot Wheels and I wanted to say thank for the recommendation! It’s great so far, very interesting.

I did the same 
Haven’t got it yet though. Was somewhat disappointed it isn’t available on Kindle. My bookshelves are over flowing! So is my Kindle, but it’s got more space. I haven’t bought a real book in years.

Very cool! It’s definitely not in large circulation. I bought it at the Edisto bookstore, which has plenty of gems like that one. If you like first-person history, you will really like this book.

Forgot to mention, that the author of the book grew up on Peters Point Plantation, which of course, is no longer … pretty much swallowed up by woods, etc. But if you know where it is, I was able to see features discussed in the book, for example where a large saltwater pond used to be that they used for food, fishing, etc. It is now a marsh but you can clearly see where it used to be. I love that stuff!
