They are also on the west coast in river outlets alot.

I was out on a thermal day in May 2005 at the mouth
of the Little Manatee River on a 19M nitro with large directional
and decided to take a jump on a huge gust. hit at least 20
feet and floated for awhile.

Looking down, I saw the largest Bull Shark ever. at least 10-12 feet
in the shallows.

They like springtime

Nice image! Did it splash off when you landed or just fade away? Reminds me of the time I jumped a lemon shark on purpose in hopes of taking its picture from above. This was within a mile or so of where Steve Schafer was attacked. Not my most lucid moment considering it might have panicked the shark when I landed.

I think the bulls gravitate to estuary areas around the entire state, heading inside the barrier island on both coasts. That big fellow may have been in there to spawn or be put in a family way? There were two bull shark attacks inside the barrier island including a fatality in Boca Ciega Bay on your coast.
