OWZAT Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 G`day Fellas , Adding to the woes of Blistering NE winds that have been blowing incessantly for 2 weeks , thereby shutting down all fishing. Now , for the Ist time in many years , we have had some enormous sharks , closing the beach to swimmers over the last week or so. One witness observing the sharks from his 2nd story Unit with Navy binoculars , estimated one shark to be close to 16ft long , now that is big!!!!! . A local chap I spoke to, who was fishing the Manning River one night last week in his boat , saw a massive swirl just 5 meters away close to shore , then watched in disbelief , as the ripple from the swirl , bobbed his 10 foot Tinnie rather violently for a few pulse racing seconds . Fishing has been a disaster here over the School Holidays , with most of the Local legends using the down time to visit family elsewhere . We have tried the lagoons on three occasions , for nil results , so all we can do is wait and see!. Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mottyman Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 Wow mick - Sounds like you should strap a game chair to the bull bar of a 4wd and get stick into them... 16ft Tiger is a scary fish. Cheers David. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mondo Rock Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Makes me feel a bit better Mick - beach fishing for me has been decidedly average also. When will these cold currents leave?!!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OWZAT Posted January 22, 2007 Author Share Posted January 22, 2007 (edited) G`day fellas , My contract reads as follows ...." I stay Outta the de water " , " They Stay offa de Land ". I donta Messa wit dem , they donta messa wif me . Works fine so far !. Wonder how deep you would suck in a breath , if you were paddling up the Goon in a SEA KAYAK , and you had two shadows on the sand below , both around the 16 foot mark .....bbbbrrrr ???? I guess The Currents will persist for some time yet , had a link somewhere to check it out , but can`t find it.

Guest DV8 Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Owzat I believe you also have that dreaded red weed clogging up reels and rod guides up there at the moment. davo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zen801 Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 OWZAT, Mate plenty of sharks on the Northern Beaches of Sydney at the moment. Hard to pick up a jew as they turn up on the high tide as well and eat anything going. We caught a nice size whaler the other night and let it go. Next time i'll take a camera.
