One of Skomal's tags from the Chatham Sept sharkathon just popped up.


50 miles E of Jacksonville Fla....

Very cool and interesting too- I would have thought the waters that far south would be too warm for those big boys, even in January. Apparently not.

It will definitely be fascinating to be able to track these guys in the Atlantic for the first time due to the fine work done off of Chatham last year...

Very cool and hopefully this new information will shed some light on this awesome predator.

These satelite tags are cool shit.

I'm dying to see where the tuna are going.



TINFOIL HAT CONSPIRACY: What do you want to bet that after they view the data and see the great white spent his entire journey south hanging right off major tourist beaches, that the data won't be released to the public.

Very cool. Lets hope more can be tagged in the future so that we can unlock the many mysteries of these fish.

Larry,

Up for a lil catch and release sharking off chatham this year?
