Obsession – With Sak Narwal


Many folks tease me about my fear and semi-obsessive behavior about sharks.  I keep mentioning the Bull Shark because of its adaptability to fresh and salt waters, which essentially screams in my mind, "I'm here!  I could be anywhere - lurking."  Anywhere includes Montauk, Long Island.  Okay, maybe not the Bull Shark per se but, sharks - period!  Sak Narwal is a man with a similar obsession to mine, albeit toward fishing.  He is a man who must know all there is about fishing and he travels the globe to learn all he can.  Part of Sak Narwal’s need to know includes fishing not so far from home in Montauk, NY.  What is he fishing?  Sharks! Montauk is the eastern most part of Long Island where several bodies of water merge together – the Atlantic Ocean, the Long Island Sound, currents from the Gulf Stream, rivers from Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts.  They all butt together inviting populations of shark – Blue, Thresher, and Hammerheads making these exciting waters for a fisherman like Sak Narwal.
