Anybody else see the shark today at Secret Harbour?
I regularly see the smaller fellas(circa 2m) which is not such a big deal, but this one was more in the 3m-4m size, chunky body with a jagged fin? Not sure on the type as i didn't hang about.
What i have noticed over the last 6months is an increase in fisherman and their dodgey burley methods. These size sharks are normally down mandurah way, wonder if the fisher folk or the lack of fish is bringing them to secret harbour instead? ![]()
Spotted a rock the other day, looked like it had a fin , was about 6 meters long, didnt stay around long enough to see what type it was.
Hey Meerkat, I had heard secret harbour was a pretty sharky area, I guess a shark that size was probably a white pointer... unless the tail was long and thin in which case probably a tiger. Do you get tigers in the cold water over there?
If the fisherman are throwing burley in the water there is no doubt that would attract heaps of sharks... do the fishermen come close to where you are kiting?
I know back in South Africa, when I lived in Cape Town, once they started cage diving and throwing burley in the water to attract sharks, heaps more attacks along beaches started occurring. THere was a push over there by the surf foundations to stop cage diving in general. Couple of my mates reckon they have seen so many pointers coming up to their boats now when they are out fishing since the cage diving started. The sharks get used to being around people and boats.
When looking for Sci's board yesterday at woodies I saw 2 dolphins and a Fin that wasn't porpoising. It was a different colour than the dolphins fins and also a different shape. 2-3m shark maybe?
I saw a giant leatherback turtle between Floreat and Scarbs yesterday. Would have been almost 2m long.
sharks in the river....yep..
i ve seen two thrashing around in the shallows near canning bridge...never seen them when out on the water though...
there ws also that story in the west a year or so ago about that guy who saw a shark take out a pelican..
they are definently there.
a guy cought a bull shark only about a month or so ago in the upper reaches of the swan... talking up as far or further than guilford / bassendean as a guess
