see that, but I think it's a great photo, so thanks for sharing it with us.
I've never seen a combination shot like that before.

When I'm down in Sarasota wavesailing, I've been out with dolphins a
few times when they are 'surfing' ... Very cool indeed. The last time
was a few Christmas's ago and it was pretty cold out - about 50
degrees I think (I'm from Wisconsin, so I was out sailing in a shorty
when the locals were huddled on the beach in their jackets ;-) and
there were two male dolphins in the break and they were tearing it up!
It mas night to be out with the masters. ;-)

yards of swimmers from low-flying aircraft around beaches in FL and
texas (probably just about anywhere with bathers). Does anyone know
where I can find pictures like this. They are probably top secret bc
that kind of stuff is no good for tourism.
Thanks

It's not a myth. I often fly low along the coast and the view from 500
ft is scary. Expecially along the barrier islands. You see hundreds of
sharks near shore separated from the clusters of clueless bathers by
only a submerged sandbar. Basically, they hang out BECAUSE there are
schools of dolphins there. And that's the rule. Where you find
dolphins, you find sharks. Why? Foodsource. Not that the sharks eat
the dolphins but rather the dolphins leave a trail of scraps for the
sharks.
The primary food source for both species is the fatty mullet. Very
plentiful not only along the Gulf coast, but also on the east coast.
The mullet schools migrate between the near-shore shallow water and
the deeper off-shore waters. Near shore, they are an easy target for
the dolphins who can't swallow them whole but must eviserate them
(think of the dolphin as a 250 pound, self propelled CusineArt food
processor). The consequence is a trail of chum the sharks gladly
clean-up.
Another scenario: migration. Once flying from South Daytona to Jax, I
witnessed a continuous parade of sharks the entire way. One after the
other for miles and miles. And BIG sharks. Adjusting for the waters
magnification, I would guess they averaged 8-9'. Couldn't make out the
species but the sight was awesome.
Sharks are an amazing work of engineering. And smarter than people
give them credit for. With the expection of the indiscriminate bull
shark, I have no problem sharing the water with them.

I have about 1500 hours of flight instruction over Gulf Coast beaches.
Shark, Manatee, Dolphin, huge schools of Blues, Jack, Mullett et....
But the flying I did and the fish I saw reinforced what we all know. Shark
have no interest in people under most circumstances.
I have mistakenly sailed into a basking Hammerhead (thought it was floating
debree and wanted to see if it was salvagable), through huge school of Sting
Ray, directly beside 12 ft Dolphins and uncomfortably close (for a 16 year
old) to a huge (GIGANTIC) ray. I do not know if it was a Manta Ray or a
Devil Ray, whatever. It was at least 12 feet across. I thought it was two
albino sharks swimming in proximity to one another. But it was just the two
wing tips of the ray.
The fish there on the Gulf coast just don't want anything to do with you. I
can't speak to the Pacific Coast. Fish are bigger, water murkier, water
users more closely akin to food source.
But don't worry about fish on the Gulf Coast. Worry about lightning. But
THAT is another story!!

to add to the paranoia, did any of you flying folks ever fly over the Gulf's
many bays? I recall one of the pros insisting he came very close to large
shark (bull or maybe hammerhead) near the upwind mark at the US Open in
Corpus Christi Bay 2 years ago.

ignore the text, just look at the picture

get to tell the story about how he almost ate you alive, but you clubbed
it with your Reactor Bar and put it in a full nelson until he agreed to
tow you to shore and go steal a six-pack from a fisherman (from which he
only returned with TWO!!!). That happened to me last week. Did I tell you
that story?
