Almost daily since mid-September, shark warning signs have been posted by city lifeguards at Kaimana Beach because of white-tipped reef sharks swimming close to shore, feeding on schools of halalu (juvenile big eye scad).

Occasionally, fishermen standing at the water’s edge inadvertently hook a feeding shark. Mereck Pang said he snagged one Monday afternoon, and on Tuesday Fritz Dumalan hooked a 4- to 5-foot reef shark — small fry, he added, compared with the 14-footer that took his line two weeks ago.

Sharks cut the lines and free themselves, the fishermen said.
