Rare Shark Feeding Frenzy in North Carolina

On Thursday, October 9 at around noon, while at a retreat at Cape Lookout National Seashore off the coast of North Carolina, the leaders of One Harbor Church witnessed a shark feeding frenzy. The men were out fishing for the evening’s dinner when they stumbled across more than 100 sharks attacking a school of blue fish. As seagulls and pelicans joined in on the meal, the men began to cast into the surf, catching fish without the use of bait. For more than five minutes, the sharks were observed swimming in and out of the surf, some of which became beached in the fury. Donnie Griggs, the cameraman who captured the footage, is an avid waterman who spearfishes, dives, swims and surfs at Cape Lookout often. We want it to be clear that Cape Lookout and the surrounding beaches of Eastern North Carolina are extremely safe for swimming. The presence of these sharks and large schools of fish is actually a sign of a very healthy ecosystem.

    This happens every fall, you have to be at the right place at the right time. Finger mullets are making the run out the inlet, the drum are waiting for them and the sharks are waiting for the drum. I have seen this 10-=15 times in my 25 years on the NC coast fishing. I have had to jump as the sharks go between my legs while casting to the drum. Its a special thing to witness, I do charter and for more info and if you want to see this and catch one fish after the other let me know.

    I've seen Blues push the mullet up on the shoreline twice in my lifetime and it is rare, but never the sharks, what a rush! We raced to tie on silver spoons to pull in Bluefish at Harkers in 1993. Okracoke was where the second encounter.. it was so amazing. I say ban the commercials , pay the locals to oversee, manage, be the caretakers of the greatest gem North Carolina holds (to me), The Outer Banks, there' no place on earth like it.

    I saw the same kind of sharks feeding on some type of bait fish at Edisto Beach State this past weekend. There were 100s of sharks, maybe 1000. It was spread over about 1/4 mile square, starting just beyond the breakers. Lasted about 20 minutes with surface strikes, some of them jumping strikes, about every 5 seconds. Lots of pelicans joining in on the spectacle. Amazing to see. I go to various beaches in the area about once a week from 1st of May to the end of October and have never seen anything like it before.

    They may qualify to be labeled "Keystone" animals by which is meant that in eating stingrays as you say, they support and defend the healthy population of the entire eco culture of the area. I hope that is true. I've seen too many bodies of dead ocean areas for my liking.

When we were done surfing, we went up on the pier to see what they pulling in. It was sharks. The whole pier was lined with 100's of sharks. Mostly smaller sharks but a few decent sized ones. It was still enough to send a chill down my spine.

    Frank Hill Now there's a word I haven't heard anyone use in a while. You been studying the period of the Crusades? But I'm not sure what correlation you were trying to covey? Were you saying that Muslims are sharks? Or like sharks? Or Arabs in general are like sharks? Maybe you meant they were "Man Eaters" like in the song? But that song was referring to a "Man Eater" woman, lol. Or maybe you just wanted to see if anyone would respond to that word? :-) Have a Great Day! I'm outta here for now.

    In 1969 I had just got my license. Ventured down to the Emerald Isle pier one Sunday afternoon to go surfing on my 6'8" Vardeman v-bottom surfboard with a short 6" skeg. As the surf got bigger I noticed the other surfers whom I didn't know as I wasn't from there were leaving. I just went further out as the surf got bigger. There were sharks in the water. Luckily, the week before I had read all about sharks in Reader's Digest. They are scavengers and not predators. Article said to avoid eating each other in a feeding frenzy the sharks only attack the 'scared'. This was before leashes on surfboards so sometimes I would lose my board and have to resolutely swim about 5 or 10 yards to retrieve it. I would see fins cutting through the water on my way to my board. Get on it and go back out. By the time I had been out in the midst of them for about 45 minutes I could tell the people on the pier were signaling me to stop. The ambulance was there. I got out. They came to me and said come up here and look at where you were. I went up on the pier. They had dumped 3 55-gallon drums of cow's blood into the water. At any moment one would see 6 to 8 packs of 6 to 8 sharks 6 to 8 feet long. Tiger sharks. I told them sharks are scavengers and I was able to do what I did because I was not scared. Didn't anyone on the pier take a picture of this event? Let me know.

    No, they're not. The ones that were beached were clearly sharks, and this is shark behavior. This was actually a brilliant feeding strategy, as bluefish were probably chasing bunker or other small fish against the surf, so the sharks just did their job as the next link on the food chain.

    Reminds me of what we call Jubilee down here on the southern Gulf coast. Every few years the water will fill with extra oxygen and the bait fish come in by the millions. The game fish and bigger fish and sharks follow. We will catch trout two or three at a time every cast and dolphin would knock us down swimming between us catching trout. The sharks too come in and are chasing fish everywhere all around you. It is the craziest thing you have ever seen in your life. Literally, fish everywhere... And as fast as it starts, it is gone lol... Also reminds me of what us locals always knew... that any time you went in the water you were surrounded by sharks lol. This would easily be seen when news helicopters would fly down and take pictures of old man and woman wading in less than waste deep water surrounded by over a hundred sharks and never knew it, lol. I bet they had a heart attack when they saw the footage lol... Most of the time you never know they are there. Many times I have had them take my fish right off my hook as I brought it into the net, lol... I have caught up to six foot blue shark while wade fishing. It is eight foot and bigger that you have to worry about... big Tigers or stupid bull shark... even small bull shark will bite you in six inches of water... hate them... only good one is a dead one.... but most sharks never bother you... they know you are not their prey.... but a big Tiger will eat anything lol.... hammerheads are bad too but usually don't see them in close... Nice footage... the bot

    why would someone think this is sad? or that something is wrong, this is a way sharks have developed to catch a lot of small fish in one place, they drive a lot of small fish towards the shore, then it's easy to pick them off, they are trying to load up on calories and store energy, this is a much more efficient way to do that, then to have to chase each fish, which would burn almost as many calories as what they took in
