Last week (calm sea) when pollocking in Donegal bay from a rock shelf I saw a shark (classic dorsal and tail fin) close in (could have spit at it) - just cruising along the rocks. Any idea what it might have been?

Basking shark at a guess :?

Sounds like Basking, been a few about the bay this year. Seems to have been lots about everywhere by the sounds of it.
