Thank you bobdonny & jks. Or, put another way: Cheers. :friday
According to the first YouTube page to come up on a search of basking sharks and Guernsey: "In Guernsey, we have hardly any sharks, if we do, its most likely to be a basking shark, and they are huge." [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i2n669llJ6c]Fishing Guernsey - YouTube[/ame] The first statement fits my previous research. How often would you saw basking sharks come your way?

i have not seen one for about 10-11 years now, we used to see them 4 or 5 times a year. I do see sharks every year though or least every other year, some years we see quite a few unidentifiable fins in the distance but, porbeagles are the most common shark nowadays.
We saw a pod of really small porpoise a few weeks ago, they only looked about 4 foot long!

I'm about to watch Man of Aran now. Thank you, all.
I'm afraid, Foxfish, that I won't be able to watch your video. As when I click on it, I see this:
Oh, well.
And, Magpie, although I agree you warning about trusting the internet is warranted, I was also basing this on books by Sue Daly. I guess she only listed fish that constantly or at least *regularly* appeared in your waters. Thankfully, though I am trying to make Tane be based on your Channel Islands, they are still fictional. If you have sharks -- or dolphins or seals -- that show up occasionally at Guernsey or Sark, I can feel free to have them be especially fond of certain bays of Aros, never reaching Tane or the Galiat Strait. That being said, I do appreciate all the facts you give me. I can play with reality, but not ignore it. I am striving for realism, even in a fictional world.

i managed a good run yesterday morning - it was a beatiful start to the day; pleinmont to st Martins point 
then out for a couple of hours of spearing; first dive had bass swimming in to see me, then saw a few shoals of small bass. took one about 4lb, then just ejoyed watching them. going back out today to try and find 'the' big one...
and with a 2hour bike ride this morning, i'm going to be able to eat like a king tonight... :friday:king

Nice fish! well done
I took the kayak off to the prosperity engine block and was playing in the bays around there:

We went to sark last weekend, here is part one of my "first ever edited vid" on youtube - lots to learn about videoing & editing - I definitely need a better camera that zooms while videoing but hey, it was fun & maybe just the beginning of yet another hobby ...

I don't know if it was meant to be a comedy but I couldn't stop laughing through both episodes. I do have 2 questions:
1) How much are you being paid by the Sark Tourist Board?
2) How many funny looks did you get whilst narrating?
Roll on episode 3!
