Kids were in the water last week! Cold but they didnt care.

They are there all the time.The movie "jaws" was loosely based on what happened in LBI, around 1920 I think

Exactly right Tim, the dates were in July 1916.

I was swimming off Sandy Hook this morning.......the water is cold.....maybe 70 degrees. A 12ft Great White in Island Beach!! Yeow!!!!!

The bay is pretty warm. I've had the kids over to Tice's Shoal twice now - last time (on Memorial Day), the water temp was just about 80 degrees.

I've heard the bay is at 80* already too! Might have cooled down a bit these past couple cold nights! But then today 90+ it will warm right back up again :drink: :cool: What boat you in over at Tices rainmn? Name, make, model? ... I'll look out for you, we're there most every w/e in an all white Formula 330SS w/ blue graphics (stripes), no name on her ... yet.

Someone catch this thing - as PROOF!!! I don't believe nuttin' till I see it wit my own eyes!! Being from NY/NJ I'm skeptical about EVERYTHING :evilb:

Living and growing up in NJ (Shore) my whole life I've heard these stories what I thought were wise-tales ... I guess that Wikipedia links lends some credence to those 'stories' :eek: :eek: THANKS!!!(i think??? :rolleyes: ) :D :D :lolhit:

One of my clients on Martha's Vineyard, Edgartown National Bank, was used in the movie. They have the sign inside their bank that was used in the movie. Ammityville Bank I believe. Pretty neat. Not that a real GW around the beaches is cool :eek:

I'm in a 22' Sea Pro CC...kind of a tough one to spot in that crowd. :drink:

It has "Catching Rays" on the front of the electronics box.

We're usually only over there for a couple of hours at a time. My parents live directly across the bay in Sunrise Beach, so it's not as if it's a long ride over.

I'll keep an eye out for you when I'm over there, which will probably be Sunday if it's nice out.
