Well the best thing to do is to keep away from them.  sharks usually don't attack humans unless they are provoked.  \n\nHowever, if a shark does try to attack, punching it in the noes does help.  a sharks noes is full of ultra-sensative nerves that helps them detect prey.\n\nAlso, avoid wearing yellow, black or silver when swimming in shark-infested waters.

A Great White Shark will WIN because crocs can't swim as fast and sharks got way SHARPER teeth. There you go. SHARKS RULE THE SEA. But if its a land fight then OF course. The shark will be dead before you know it.

Live bait such as minnows are the best to use, use a tip up and put the minnow down about 6 feet in 10 to 15 foot of water. Then all it is to wait sooner or later mr aligater jaws finds the minnow and you have a tasty treat

Researching crocodiles and alligators for a previous question I discovered American Alligators have been known to take down bears. The great white shark being larger and more powerful than an alligator should have no problem killing a bear. Of course great whites don't go that far north, but it's a hypothetical question.

This time of year it can be hard to trigger strikes - contrary to popular thinking.  I'd use some sort of floating crank that dives to no more than 3-4 ft. upon retrieve.  Anything in a shad color will work since that makes up a significant portion of bass diet this time of year.  If you're fishing over milfoil, cast to the edge, retrieve quickly for the first 3 or 4 feet and then let it float back up to the top.  It simulates a shad scurrying away from the bass which usually makes them come out and hit it.  Stop and go retrieves tend to work really well at this time of year.  If you're hell-bent on using cranks, go for it.  Let me suggest, however, floating worms in the early and late parts of the day.  They are killer here in NC.  Zoom puts out a color called tomatoe that I've had a lot of luck w/ lately.  Don't forget about the trusty ol' buzz bait either, you can usually do some damage w/ one of those if you throw it up to a grassy bank and just slow roll it.\n\nGood luck.

If you encounter a bear: \nRemain calm and avoid sudden movements. \nGive the bear plenty of room, allowing it to continue its activities undisturbed. Every bear has a zone of danger or personal space -- that is, the distance within which a bear feels threatened. If it changes its natural behavior (feeding, foraging or movement) because of your presence, you are too close. If you stray within that comfort zone, a bear may react aggressively in the form of a bluff charge, bodily contact, or even an outright attack. \nIf you spot a bear and the bear is unaware of you, detour quickly and quietly away. \nIf spotted by a bear, try to get its attention while it is a good distance away. Help the bear to recognize that you are human, by talking to it in a normal voice or waving your arms. If a bear cannot tell what you are, it may come closer or stand on its hind legs to get a better look or smell. A standing bear is usually curious, not threatening. \nSome bears will bluff their way out of a threatening situation by charging, then veering off or stopping abruptly at the last second. Bear experts generally recommend standing still until the bear stops and then slowly backing away. \nNever run from a bear. Running may elicit a chase from an otherwise non-aggressive bear, and since they can run faster than 30 mph, you have no chance of outrunning them. \nNever feed or toss food to a bear. \nClimbing a tree to avoid bears is popular advice but not very practical in many circumstances. All black bears, all grizzly cubs, and some adult grizzlies can climb trees. Running to a tree may provoke an otherwise uncertain bear to chase you. \nThrow something onto the ground (like a camera) if the bear pursues you, as it may be distracted by this and allow you to escape. \nIf you carry pepper spray, be sure that you have trained with it before trusting it during an attack.

Well Boxergirl, I've been scuba diving for 28 years, and just as the surfer said, the best way to defend against a shark attack is to be aware of the shark to begin with! We did a live study on shark attack methods, and the results were very interesting. Almost all sharks will circle their targeted prey several times before attacking. They attack from below, getting an angle from below so that they give no warning. In the surf, and at the mouths of rivers and such, they come from the side, due to no visibility and most attacks on humans there are mistaken identity, because they don't actually see you at all. They bump into soft flesh, and bite in reflex, normally letting go as soon as they taste the blood. Our blood is not the same as marine life, so it's not something they actually like very much. But it can get them excited, so don't take it for granted that they won't attack twice. \n    In the event that you ARE attacked, stay calm, first and foremost! You will have a bad cut, or worse, so you do NOT want to get your heart to racing! If at all possible, locate the shark, and keep an eye on it, while you work at stopping or at least slowing the blood flow. Swimming calmly, not splashing or acting erratic, make your way towards shore, yelling loudly to let nearby swimmers know that you've been attacked. In the event that the shark returns, or makes another pass, you can use both hands and feet to kick and strike in the nose and eye regions. If you have a board, shove the nose of the board at the shark's eye region. Keep in mind that if you are bitten, other sharks may be attracted, so you are in a fight for survival, and there are no rules. You fight to win, no questions asked. \n    Like I said, I've been diving for 28 years, and even with all the sharks dives I've done (435), I've never been bitten. I HAVE had to ward several off when they got too nosey, but no bites. Good luck!!

Humans are not it's main source of food.  Therefore the shark would only attack a person if 1. was incited by a feeding frenzy 2. shark has not been able to get normal source of food for some time 3. the shark is confused by the shape, and takes an investigative bite.  A shark can easily kill a person, but usually after the initial bite they usually let go.  Very rarely are people actually killed and consumed by the shark.

wow you live on the canals???\n\nnice, firstly bait the water with blood and burley to attract the buggers, then throw in a hunk of meat- roo or something similar is good, have a huge   hook in it attached to a 44 gallow drum via stainless steel whire a good 2.5 mm thickness at least, attache the drum to something on the mainland via rope of another means.\n\nhere is what will happen, the shark will take the bait but be unable to swim away and submerse the 44 gallon drum, effectively it will drown because it cant dive down and swimm unristricted. \n\nthis is the way we used to catch tiger sharks when we lived in the torres staits.

That depends on the size of the shark and its scales. Shark scales are actually denticles embedded in the skin, with their point directed posteriorly. The morphology of these denticles is particular to each shark species, and in most cases, these denticles keep getting bigger as the animal grows (these skin denticles are shed and replaced just like sharks' teeth). \nSo, if you happen to rub with your naked skin against the shark, in the direction opposite that of the orientation of the denticle tips, you could get seriously grazed and chafed. \nAlthough many aboriginal cultures in different parts of the world have used shark teeth as knives, I've never heard of their skin used in this way. But the dry skin of some dogfish sharks was indeed commercialized as sandpaper, before the advent of artificial versions.

can they? most likely. Would they? its unlikey.\n\nA little fact about sharks is that they like fatty foods, the more calories they can consume while expending as little as possible is ideal shark food. \n\nWhen they "attack" a surfer they are usually doing an exploratory bite. Surfers are usually very lean and dont make good shark foood. In addition they usually bite the board also, which tastes terrible to them.

Okay here goes.First thing you need is great insect repellent to spray yourself completely to keep the nasty bugs away.Buy the strongest sun screen to protect your skin.Wear a hat to ward off sun/heat stroke.Buy 6 bottles of water and a cooler with ice to keep them cold.Make yourself some snack foods for lunch and for the munchies.I also brought hand wipes to clean the worm gunk and fish smell off my hands.Buy a cheap but good rod and real with a small tackle box filled with all the little goodies you may need.Remember above all if the fish is smaller than your hand throw the poor thing back into the water so it can grow some more.

Patience is a virtue.  You have to make sure they have taken the bait.  If you are using a bobber or a float.. wait until they take it all the way under the water.  If you are relying on line pull... when they run with it... set the hook.  Either way, setting the hook is similar.... sharply pull the end of the rod up from about the 3 o'clock position straight up to about the 12 o'clock position.\n Practice makes perfect.

The Dogfish shark is pretty small to be dangerous.  It's not much larger than a small cat... and like most craetures more scared of humans than anything else so no they are not going to attack you or anything.
