TC Posted February 8, 2018 Report Share Posted February 8, 2018 That's a pup....lol ... we have a celebrity that swims up and down the NJ coast. Mary Lee, 16-foot, 3,500-pounder, most likely longer by now. Good luck on your quest for jaws. See if you can take a few pics if you happen to run into him. They are amazing creatures.

conocean Posted February 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2018 My choko neighbors are all stirred up! They've been trying to entice the great white to come in at high tide by using stingray carcasses with 16/0 hooks & 1/4" rope attached to the marina dock. I bet that shark would rip a piling out!!

hurricane Posted February 8, 2018 Report Share Posted February 8, 2018 Wonder how accurate the location is? If you zoom in, it looks like he is in an area that's about 10 ft deep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mary Lee likes to winter here off the Georgia coast and sometimes comes in towards the beach very close. A fishing buddy of mine, and his crew, were some of the first people down here to get video evidence of great whites in these waters back in the early 2000s ( I've seen the original vid and have a copy of the local newspaper article). The thinking at that time was that this was a sick adult that could no longer catch fast prey. Now it is known they often winter in our waters, possibly due to the fact that Right whales come here at the same time to calve. I used to dive the same wreck where my buddy filmed that shark!!!

conocean Posted February 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 I thought I saw George feeding on a huge turtle a few miles off Lostmans ENP boundary marker but it turned out to be huge spotted rays doing some weird mating dance over top of a school of seatrout. Sharks should be thankful I no longer fish for them. A small blacktip is actually pretty tasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
