Recently I went on a scalloping trip with some friends and wanted to film some sharks while we were there. I knew there were sharks in the area so all I had to do was draw them in and it would be simple, right? Not so much. I got some fish and started chumming. Pretty quickly a bunch of little fish swarmed around the chum bag. I figured this was a good sign as it might draw in the predators I was hoping to find. I waited a while and a few remoras showed up. That was a good sign as they often hang out with larger sea creatures. A little while longer and I thought I saw my first shark! Nope, it was a cobia. Too bad I was filming and not fishing. I left the bag for a while and came back and still nothing was around. My friend was on the boat fishing and I look up to see him fighting a fish. So I swam over to see what he had on his line. It was a shark! I've been chumming for an hour and no sharks came by but he threw out one piece of chunk bait and the shark finds that. I concluded that the sharks were just really shy and filmed the shark my friend had caught as he released it. It wasn't what I had hoped for but I did get a really neat shot as the shark swam away over the grass flats.
