There were sharks in the shallows on the malecon, in front of the Hotel
Perla. Thats crazy. Please note that on my computer this video had no sound. When other videos did, so I assume it is a silent video.

A well informed Baja California traveler is a smart Baja California traveler!
funny thing chino lives a few hundred yards away and has never even gone that far down the malecon. There are also 5 tibornes ballenas out there
eating, and a hundred orcas outside. I hope to see some today in the afternoon.
Don't kid yourself about the health of the water it is highly active with huge tides and lots of life struggling to survive.
A hundred Orcas? Those sharks had the tail of a Thresher, but I may be mistaken..gnukid, take your camera and take pics of "a hundred
Orca".hmmmmm.....
They are seeking refuge from the JAP fishing boats that the Mexican politicos allow in to exploit the natural resources. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
big BITE.
Appears to be some sort of mating behavior to me. There isn't that fast darting movement of a feeding frenzy.
We get leopard sharks here in feb-march at one of our local beaches that behave that way within feet of the shoreline. In fact I would hook them on a
12 wt flyrod. A real blast. They stay for about 3 weeks doing their thing and are gone until the following year.
I know those tails look real long but they may not be threshers. I'm sure sharksbaja could ID them in a flash.
I think you right Skipjack Joe, behavior indicates mating, only missing rolling and biting / holding on to dorsal fins. First I thought also they are
Tresher Sharks but my guess would be more Dusky Sharks since tail fin not long enough for Tresher.

I concur tho they look much like the Pelagic Thresher.
