St Ives mackerel man sees Jaws II.

Can't understand why the press tends to sensationalise shark sightings as dangerous!

Ian Bullus, fishing aboard his 16' handliner for mackerel was reportedly bumped by a White Tipped shark a mile off St Ives today. As the incident took place over two weeks ago and there have been no reported further sightings the surf looks safe enough on Porthmeor and Porthminster beaches - though no doubt St Ives harbourmaster and ex-fisherman, Steve Basset will do his best placate any tourists down the quay panicked into thinking that anything that looks remotely like a fin in the water is about to devour them - tourists are much more likely to be savaged by sea birds in St Ives!
