JONES BEACH, N.Y. -- More shark sightings were reported in Nassau County on Saturday.

The New York state parks department says at 8 a.m., a fisherman at Jones Beach pulled in a 4- to 5-foot long shark, prompting lifeguards to delay swimming for an hour.

Swimming was then delayed again until 10:45 a.m. after another fisherman caught a shark in the area.

After monitoring the water, swimming was eventually allowed again.
