Googled it and got more info.

I thought I saw one swimming around the kelp but couldn't find it when I tried to chase it down and figured it was my imagination. maybe I did see it.

weird. was it heavy bodied or slender?

heres some pics of different sharks.

soupfin (from california, just north of LJ)

black tip

small dusky, they look about the same all through their life and are common to california

and bull

they can all be found in socal and can have black on their fins. the others you might encounter are salmon sharks, great whites (they come in small packages too, saw a 4fter in oceanside harbor), sevengills, oceanic white tips, tigers and hammers.

You forgot our short fin MAKO!

beef78 · 08-26-2013, 05:24 PM

After looking at all those, I would have to guess black tip, but I am not sure. I didn't get a good enough look at it.

Did it look like this?

Hard to say because I saw it from above.

I wouldn't question all the possibilities mentioned except one, the Salmon Shark. Most know it's in the same family as the Great White, and Mako, a few of the only warm-blooded sharks in the whole world, but Salmon's most typically are very far north of here, preferring much colder water, as is off the coast of Alaska. In all my life I've never heard of an account of one in Socal waters, not that I've heard everything there is to know, but I've certainly followed ocean fishing closely for 42 years.

never knew bulls/hammers/tigers are in so cal. They prefer warmer water on the east coast. I was stationed in florida and i saw all three of these in a day at the pier. the hammer was 10ft east swimming around the swimmers and following the pier out to the deep....pretty intense.

I've heard of the young ones washing up on beaches all the time in california, but I really don't know how common they are.

they are hear, the pups run the shallow coastal waters all the time and wash up now and then. there was an adult school off newport a couple years ago.

i didn't mention mako because they don't normally have black tips, and i've never seen or heard or them having them.

hammers used to be a common catch back in the 60's all the to monterey. tigers and bulls are found along Baja California and have been sighted off of sand diego, they could easily be pushed up in numbers by a warm current.

i love your pics of the Beach goers, gathering around, to eyeball the sharks caught by surf fishermen !!!

i haven't been surf fishing in several years now. but used to go a fair amount in Torrey Pines & Del Mar areas.
EVERYTIME you land a shark of at least 2 to 3 ft length, or especially bigger, the crowds ALWAYS accumulate.

and most comical to me, is the way so many moms, immed make their kids get out of the water & stop swimming.
