Sharks do vary in "attitude," or so it seems. I have heard stories about guys spearfishing off Andros at the southern end of the Tongue of the Ocean. They usually try to get the fish out of the water very fast and keep the boat within 150 ft. most of the time. Sharks just rush up and take your catch and maybe even have a go at you. Although this is possible in Florida and has happened in times past, it isn't a truism for most of the time. With your lower population, the toothy buggers may be a bit less offish than there are over here in hyper-populated SE Florida. Yes, sharks do seem to have peak feeding right around quiting time for some of us. Wonder if there is a relationship?
