Shark Sighting

Maybe this fisherman really DID wish he had a bigger boat.

One of the most popular beaches here at the Jersey Shore is Island Beach State Park. The summer hot spot is a lot quieter these days, but not in the waters offshore. According to a recent Patch  article, a great white shark was identified off the coast of Island Beach State Park here in Ocean County...

By now you have probably seen the video of the Great White shark that Jeff and Scott Crilly encountered off the coast of Point Pleasant. Now, Shawn Michaels was able to talk with Scott Crilly about his encounter with this huge Great White.

No, it's not our favorite great white shark Mary Lee, but a sighting out of a Shore area beach got the attention of local police and lifeguards.

In the pantheon of famous Jersey Shore names, we have such luminaries as Snooki, J-Woww, and Mary Lee. The first two are terrifying predators, the third is a shark, and she's been spotted making her way back to the coast of New Jersey in the past week.

There was a lot of talk about sharks this past Summer. From gruesome scenes of nature playing out, to people even helping a stranded shark, the stories have run the gamut of scary to encouraging. And one of the most endearing shark stories centered around a regular visitor.
