Calm down, not really sharks attacks.
Dad and I were at the beach and then a group of people saw a "shark" swimming in the water about six feet out. Then they told everyone to get out of the water. The "shark" was gone by then, anyway.
The second "shark attack" was in the sound. Mom and I were fishing on the pier. We and our neighbors on their pier saw a fin in the water. I ran up and told dad and Tyler to come down. We watched it a little longer and found out it was actually a dolphin once we saw it's blowhole.

Crabs, Shrimp, and a Stingray
For the past two days, we've been using the cast net to catch shrimp. 60% were smaller ones, which we used for bait. The other 40% of jumbo shrimp were eaten.
While I was practicing using the cast net, I let mom hold my fishing pole for me. Then after a few minutes she called out "I have a fish! It's heavy!". Dad came over to reel in the fish because it was so big and close to snapping the line. As it came closer, we saw someone else's tail thrashing around, a stingray's! We reeled it in and onto the dock with it's mouth facing up, pulled out it's hook, and it plopped into the water. I was too late to get my camera, though.
Right after that we casted the fishing pole again and immediately caught a blue claw crab. It was too small, but it was nice and healthy and blue. I did get my camera for this one. You can see in the second picture that he held onto his shrimp the whole time, even though most of it fell off.
