Those headed to VB Heads Up.

[madcoco]

Don't want to scare anyone. Just giving a heads up to those who may be considering a winter dip in the Ocean, not familar with the shore and/or may be visiting the area for the 1st time in the coming days. Nature at work. Baitfish are numerous up and down the Coast and along with the baitfish, predatory fish are lurking and Sharks are migrating. It's an annual event. Just sometimes when the food is good they crowd the buffet. BullSharks were plentiful just to the south of VB near Ft Pierce feeding close in to shore Reports estimated around 100 in one group. No Sharks have been spotted near shore to near the resort up to Sebastian Inlet(nor may they ever be) as of yet but plenty of Dolphin. Play it safe and enjoy your stay at a beautiful Resort.

Happy New Year, Mike!

...I'll pass along the info to Scott... he's been wanting to get over there pretty bad... The closest encounter he's had so far with anything "non-human" has been face to face with a manatee family in the inlet... (Freaked him out for a second, though... 'til he realized what they were... something about those large, dark shadows that makes your stomach sink!)

I am a lunatic wave rider and I just love Vero Beach, but I have to tell you that once in a while I will be way out there and a school of will fish swim through me. The first time this happened I thought it was really cool, but I have since come to the realization that this is SHARK food. Still go out there, but come back in if there are schools of fish.
