Used to see them regularly when I went bass fishing offshore.
You used to see the typical shark's fin poking out of the water as they approached. I once had one bump the underneath of my boat, which was a bit of a worry since my boat was an 18 footer and the shark was approaching 30 feet long.
Other than that they were harmless, only eating plankton.
