We were right there, same location... Mid 500's. So sorry this happened! My husband was surf fishing on the beach on Monday with his line out about 60 yards or so and hooked a 3-4 ft shark. Took him 45 mins to bring it in... Took a few pics and released it... A crowd was gathered around... Do the boy's parents recall that? It always surprises me how close the really large fish are to the beach... Including sharks.. They are def out there though... He was catching mostly little Spot, Sea Mullet, Pompano, & Pinfish...
