Shark attack - Oak Island, NC

[Ferraripete]

they have been tiger shark attacks...pretty aggressive by nature. I am told by my buddy with a house there, the attacks were in shallowish water.

the southport, oak island area is a really lovely spot. I hope you have a great vacation!!

It's strange that sharks don't see us as "ready meals". A bit fatty, but tastes just like pork, not great eating but easy...

The number of people around the world killed by sharks, I always say we should be looking upwards for aeroplanes falling on us.

thats why theyre called 'shark biscuits'.

OP, look at it this way. Every time you've been in the water there, so were they.

LOL, watch an entire week of programming designed to feed upon your fear for helpful tips.
