11-4 SS Shark

 I used to run the local fishermen newspaper which was a fisherman’s newspaper that was distributed throughout the Northwest and that is how I got so much knowledge plus I am an ex-fisherman myself.  Any time that you are in Oregon or Washington and you want to finish any type of species, whatever you want to fish for if you want to find an action packed fishing trip you can contact A & B Pro Guides and we place you with the top guide or charter service depending on your needs or your location and the time of year with the best guide or charter service to get you the top action.

Top action? Ocean fisherman and writer Rick Martin wrote this about the incident.  So much for swimming in the Ocean around here! While the ocean vessel ' Dawn Raider ' was fishing for dogfish,this Great White was hooked in the mouth but only resisted slightly for 15 minutes before it came up alongside the boat to have a look; long enough for one of the crew members to slip a rope around it ' s tail !!! And that's when it the hit the fan!! The Shark took off towing the 42 foot fishing boat backwards through the water at about 7 Knots. Just like in JAW S, the boat was taking on water over the stern and the crew watched in horror as the shark would actually jump completely out of the water at times. This went on for an hour before the shark finally drowned. She weighed in at 1035 L BS. It is suspected she followed a weak El Nino current into local waters in search of food. Although mid 60 degree water is considered ideal for these sharks, the larger ones can tolerate water in the low 50s. Ocean Shores, Washington, is just an hour or so from Longview, Washington. Longview is north of Portland, 45 miles.                  Normally we don't see these little fish up here. Wanna’ take a swim?
