Shark Feeding Frenzy off Island Beach

I believe they are blacktips and possibly spinners which are known to do that. The excessively warm water we have had since mid-June has attracted these infrequent visitors to our coast.

Whatever they are, that is one impressive demonstartion of how many shark there are in the area. Again, with the amount of bait currently in shore there's no doubt there will be predators under them. That is one of the coolest videos I've ever seen, would love to have been in a boat at the same time. Wonder if throwing large poppers through the school would have elicited some insane strikes!
