Were they feeding on something or what?

Ever see the pelican on your trips there?

Threshers ?

I used to wade out at low tide in the Keys and Nurse Sharks would follow me , eating any snails, etc that I would kick up as I walked . They never bothered me and I liked to see them.

Very nice visits you have there , Michael. You survived that squall last night , I see.

Bull sharks, they like rivers and backwaters.

They are lemon sharks. The biggest one is just over 12 feet long. Its at the fish cleaning station of the marina. Just tie a big piece of fish to a line and throw it in and move it around a bit and they show up for dinner. I would not recommend to go skinny dipping in that spot at dusk.
I have not seen Pete since we left here. I guess he has found other folks to hang out with these days. I will keep looking though and hope to see him some day.

I was not quick enough with the camera today but the gator that is hanging around the fish cleaning station got into a tangle with one of the lemon sharks and lost his front left leg in the process. A guy was cleaning his catch and threw the offcuts into the water and the gator wanted all of it but the sharks had a different take on the matter.

Well I would not go skinny dipping in that spot right now or could end up with no worm. But the folks have to clean their catch somehow and thats just part of the game I guess. Old stumpy did not seem to be bothered much, loosing half his front left leg as he is still hanging out in that spot waiting for more fish snacks
