Don't be a Puss ! We need a FNN to get out there and get some close-up pics.
A FNNer getting attacked on Recon would be good for ratings too. :Thumbs Up:

Sunset Beach On August 27, 2010 Eric Spillman of KTLA News, reported the following; I admit, I was skeptical, but now I'm convinced. We came out to Sunset Beach in Pacific Palisades, following reports of great white shark sightings off the coast here. Cameraman Vic Anastasia and I stood here for hours; on the odd chance we might see one. We did see dolphins and sea lions. We did not see any sharks. Then, at around 9:15 AM, we saw what looked to be a 7-foot-long white shark flopping near the surface, maybe 40 feet from the shore. There were a lot of surfers in the water before the sighting. Only a few stayed after they heard about the shark. A juvenile white shark can be seen feeding upon possibly a halibut, skate, or small ray, based on the color of the organism and its perceived shape. The video can be viewed at: http://blogs.ktla.com/news_custom_eric/ . Please report any shark sighting, encounter, or attack to the Shark Research Committee.
Sunset Beach On August 26, 2010 Lance O. was flying reconnaissance in his helicopter with a client. He was over Gladstone's Restaurant and the Bel Air Bay Club at Sunset Beach. He observed what appeared to be the same 5 sharks that had been at this location the prior six days. Please report any shark sighting, encounter, or attack to the Shark Research Committee.
Sunset Beach On August 25, 2010 Lance O. was flying a reconnaissance mission in his helicopter for a client. He was about 600 yards from the beach in front of the Bel Air Bay Club at Sunset Beach. He estimated the White Shark and surfer to be the same distance, about 600 yards from shore. The shark circled the surfer several times then departed.
Sunset Beach On August 24, 2010 Lance O. was again flying reconnaissance in his helicopter. He was 500 1,000 yards from the beach in front of Gladstone's Restaurant. He observed a very large White Shark, estimated at 18 feet or more, near the surface. As he began a slow decent to observe the shark, it spy hopped' (raised its head out of water) and appeared to be looking up at the helicopter. After several seconds it then submerged and swam leisurely in the area during the entire time of the observation. Lance stated that he had been over this location 5 days in a row and had observed at least 5 sharks in the area during each trip. Please report any shark sighting, encounter, or attack to the Shark Research Committee.
Sunset Beach On August 25, 2010 Scott at SunsetSurf.com received the following from Phil Hayes; I saw our shark friend today around 7:30 AM. I saw a splash in my peripheral vision a few hundred feet out and when I asked the 2 surfers I was next to they said it was definitely a shark, 8 10 feet in length with a white belly. The three of us paddled a bit farther into the lineup, as if that would make a difference. We talked about sharks and joked about keeping our feet out of the water. None of the 30 or so surfers seemed phased. I would have paddled in if there weren't such nice sets coming in. Anyhow this is the second time I've seen this guy. The last time, about a year ago, it did a full spinning breech that many people saw. I didn't report it because I thought somebody else would. Please report any shark sighting, encounter, or attack to the Shark Research Committee.

Marina del Rey On August 20, 2010 Kathy Krasenics reported the following; It was about 3:15 PM when I saw a school of Leopard Sharks (Triakis semifasciata) at Mother's Beach in Marina Del Rey. There were 50 60 swimming in a row, back and forth between the boat ramp and the beach by the new Best Western. There were 3 other people viewing them. I walked into the water to see them as I had also viewed about 7 leopard sharks last night (8/19) at 6:00 PM. I wanted to take some photos this time. I had gone back this morning at 8:00 AM and didn't see any sharks. The sharks would slowly come up to us and check us out, but then would swim away in a hurry once they got within 3 or 4 feet of our legs. But they kept swimming back and forth, methodically. A friend who's a paddler said they have been there all summer long. I viewed them for about 20 minutes then left. Last night I viewed the 7 sharks for about an hour. There were also lots of plate sized sting rays swimming along with them. I saw about 30 last night." Please report any shark sighting, encounter, or attack to the Shark Research Committee
