We are back in Guadalupe to end the amazing season of great whites. This morning has been slow. The first shark showed up after an hour ago when the first bait was thrown in. The shark came up from under the boat to do a 1/4 body breach and stole the bait, our wrangler did not have time to react. After that has been slow. 5 different sharks we have seen so far, two of them we could identify by sight – Lucy and Rhett. The other 3 sharks were one juvenile female, a juvenile male and medium size female. Lucy is the one who has been more around the boat and surface trying to get the bait from wranglers, she comes up for 5 minutes then she goes back down for 30 min to an hour. She is the biggest shark that we have seen today so she is scaring away to other sharks. This early morning was cold, with a overcast sky and light breeze from the North. There was a moment that the wind increased up to 12 kts and a 2 ft waves started coming from north. By now seas are calm and wind very light. Clouds disappeared and is a nice sunny day.
