UK Great White Shark - Mysteries Revealed!
Today the 28th of July 2007 there is an astounding headline in the "Sun" newspaper. "Great White shark filmed off Cornish beach! " (Or words to that effect.) A tourist filmed dolphins frolicking and "porpoising" 150 metres of St Ives north beach on the north Cornish coast. But while being filmed they were in fact also being hunted by an estimated 12 foot long great white shark... This shark was filmed literally shooting out of the water, breaching and twisting in an attempt to grab a leaping dolphin in mid-air, just like great whites attack seals in South African waters. The huge size of the shark"s jaws and very distinct white delineated underside were clearly observed discounting basking sharks which are common on the Cornish coast.
I Saw The Loch Ness Monster - A True Story Of Inexplicable Events!
The much feared great white shark has been regarded as non-existent, in UK waters. Until very recently that is! Apart from recent claimed sightings from fishermen in Cornwall and from Newhaven and other fishing ports, there had been no "proof" that great whites frequent the cold coastal waters of the UK. There has never been a recorded shark attack in the UK as far as I can find and the chances of attack, even off California where great whites hunt seals, are still ridiculously low. Sharks are intelligent too in their own highly developed ways. I always "knew" they were there though. Anglers have caught shark species unknown to science off the south of England and more mysteries are yet to be revealed.

St. George Island Cool Down!
After two weeks of 100 plus degrees temperature, it was too hot for even Spike the cat to be overly concerned about the mouse population at our house. With record breaking heat this summer, I decided to take a few days off my grinding schedule and head to the beach where summer winds were cooling things off! I know it sounds crazy, but August breezes off the Gulf of Mexico made the mornings and late afternoons quite pleasant. It was actually cooler in Florida than it was at my home in Alabama. Miraculously, our favorite rental house was vacant on St. George Island, just four miles across the bridge from Apalachicola, Florida. I love fishing in this area because you don't have to have a boat to catch enough fish for dinner.
Is Night Fishing Really Better And Can The Evening Secret Help?
No, fish generally are not active during the brightest part of the day or when the sun is at its peak. Fish tend to shy away from the light. But if you think about it, this makes sense since the water is darker the deeper you go and that is where the fish actually live. Therefore, when thinking of the best time of day, you need to avoid high noon, and early afternoon is not the best time either as the light is still bright and the top of the water will be warmer than deep beneath. Early evening and night time are two of the best times to go fishing. Early morning is great as well, but nighttime is when the fish are most active. Night Fishing also provides the bigger fish as this is the time when they feed the most.
