Had 'been' there once before but it was soooo rough getting there and then there were like a dozen boats already there so Ski made the wise decision to turn around. Well this time we got there just fine and dandy and there were only a few boats around. I have since found out that there is TONS of structure around, so you don't have to be exactly dead nutz on the buoy.

Went down the line and sure enough there was a nice anchor sitting there. Figured we'd pick it up on the way back. The VIZ was decent so we headed out towards the rubble piles. Ski and I got split up and I just kept nice looking around. Ski was working it down there and sure enough; in a few minutes I heard a nice "TONK" as Ski fired off a shot. Well ole chit; a nice medium sized shark comes buzzing by, fins down, moving fast; apparently looking for the source of the 'dinner bell'.

When I caught up w/Ski I signaled to him that there was a shark around somewhere and to keep an eye out.

WHAT WE LEARNED: Pavlov would have done just fine w/sharks!
