|  Shark Under the Verrazano Bridge in January???January 19th under the Verrazano Bridge. Moving slow (maybe sick, surely lost) about 200 yards from shore. You can see a bit of the tail fin and almost make out a body shape. By popular demand, a zoomed in view. No digital enhancement. That could very well be a ten foot shark, possibly a great white or tiger by the fin profile. Surely not a mammal. Zoomed in a little m ore and then it was just gone. I waited about 10 minutes. Nothing. I am not sure of anything. I know what I saw (and you see) and then did not see anymore. I do know what it looks like, though. No doubt. Not my first fish. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gyBJY-iaXTE
Jim Shaffer was born in Brooklyn, New York. As an Irish American kid growing up in hardscrabble Brooklyn, he chose fishing as a way to escape the city streets. Sheepshead Bay, home to Brooklyn's party boat fleet, was only a bike ride away and Jim quickly became fascinated with the ocean's natural beauty. Jim learned the NYC Subway map like the back of his hand and has spent a lifetime fishing and crabbing in NY and NJ. Jim's writings about fishing and the ocean have inspired the documentary short "Adventures of the Urban Angler" (YouTube). Jim now resides in Keyport, NJ.
