Hunter SHARK JAW Restoration
Righto let’s get the last few days cleared up!!!! Firstly, I don’t know why the daily mail refer to me as a shark expert, those guys know nothing, I’m a fisherman who lives for catching sharks and has become reasonably good at learning bull sharks to the point that I can usually tell where they are going to be and when, this comes with experience and lots of good mates combining our knowledge to learn stu ff about these sharks that science has never thought about!!!!!! Second, the reason I warned about the attacks and knew this was about to happen is because it hasn’t rained (properly) in months. When it rains enough to get the rivers flowing, a number of bull sharks leave the rivers, without this rain, they are all still in the rivers, it’s getting late in the season for their usual migration now, so this massive down pour we had has made them leave the rivers in massive numbers In one go instead of smaller
numbers over a period of months. Once again, no expert, just a bloke who loves fishing and really has a deep dislike for bulls. Due to the smaller sharks leaving with the big ones instead of before or after, they now have no choice but to become opportunistic feeders, they have to compete with bigger more aggressive sharks that they usually don’t travel with, so these little ones will be taking advantage of any opportunity they can to eat due to the competition they now have, this is why the next 2 weeks are so crucial to be super aware, they are faster and will bite and run, but the bite can easily be fatal. Thirdly , I never go and chase down sharks in areas of attacks, but this week has gotten so wild that I decided to go to an area I’ve never fished before, where there have been multiple attacks and show how it’s not a “wrong place wrong time” thing. I was fishing for 2 hours this morning and got this male bull shark around 200kg, it had a much bigger female with him but she didn’t like what she saw on the ga ff s and left. I’ve never fished down in Sydney before and found the sharks so fast. There were people swimming when I was fighting this one, i was at camp cove next to the pink public mooring, please don’t swim o ff boats at the moment. As usual, the shark didn’t get released!!!!!! Yes I know it’s their home, no I don’t care, I do stay out of the water but they always find a way into my boat
