Thresher sharks

[Coxy]

We have had 2 x juvenile Thresher Sharks brought to side of the boat - only a 2-3 miles off Selsey. never seen them in this close.
Much similar activity elsewhere?

Apart from a 20lb Smoothound - the fishing has been pants with hardly any mackerel around for fresh bait. Bream fishing has been very poor.

Just down the coast at Littlehampton - a totally different picture.

Get them very close in here after mackeral and pilchards.
