We had a full briefing from Jim while at dock in the Bahamas, then headed out in 6-9ft seas to make our way to Tiger Beach.

While a lot calmer at Tiger Beach, the weather was too rough to dive as the water was a little bumpy and the vis wasn’t that great. The crew still managed to entertain us all though by chumming the water for a while until Lemon Sharks started to show up. When they did, Jim got down on the back step as the crew slapped fish on the water in front of his Camera and attempted to wrangle the sharks onto the swim platform. They did pretty well, and everyone got their first good look at some of the Lemon Sharks and a very brave little Reef Shark that came in for some of the bait.

Jim liked the little Reefie’s spirit so much he asked Ed to let the Reefie take a bit of the fish. It was quite Joyous to see it grab a piece and race off.

The Video below is some Shark Wrangling from Day 2 (much calmer weather) and ends with the little Reefie from Day 1.
