Rob, Your reply is way too long to reproduce but hits the major points of shark behavior as I know it. Fortunately second hand. Any object will take on the appearance of its basic shape when seen from below, underwater. Dark against sunlit silver. We do look like big seals, or sea elephants if you prefer, with a serious propulsion problem. By virtue of the size, 16 to 20 feet we may have a slight advantage but I'm reminded of the story of a double found off Monterey, CA with no occupants and a VERY large shark bite. When? what? no one knows but it is a spooky tale around the campfire. And if you trail a big silver lure be aware, your dinner may just may have the same idea about you.
