Sharks leaving area soon

New information tonight about growing shark fears in our area.  First, it was a deadly shark attack off Stuart beach.  Then days later another local man was bitten.  Tonight we're learning where you're most likely to see the most sharks right now.  1 shark bites, 1 week, its enough to scare anybody off the beach.  One local shark expert says it'll all be over soon, but for now we're left with a lot of sharks like this spinner caught this weekend off our coast.

 

Dr. Gary Goss said, "And you know there's larger fish feeding on those fish and there are sharks even if you don't see them."

 

Sharks, they spend the winter here, experts say in the next 4 to 6 weeks they'll be out of our area.  For now they're here following their food on the move.  As we wait for them to leave, you need to know, Hobe Sound is where you'll find the most sharks.
