Fish id please

Gday Raiders.

Was driving the boat past Balmoral and saw 2 fins crusing along the surface, A dorsal and a tail of a shark. It was a brownish colour and about 2.5 to 3mtrs from tip to tip. I tried to get up close to

get a better look, got within 5 mtrs but the water was dirty and litterd with leaves and storm water run off i couldnt get a better look.

Any ideas on what type, maybe a bronzey or a bull, just a guess.

Cheers

Brownish at that size your spot on with either a bull or bronzey.

I'd definitely say Bull. They have been pretty thick lately and i saw one not long ago at Balmoral too. They tend to be more active when the water is dirty.

cheers guys,

thought bronzey but wasnt sure if they cruise the surface.

Bull Sharks have a White Belly and are Grey on Top. Cheers Ray

I recall that the dorsal fin was very sharp, not curved which threw me a bit.

I was having a look at the shark id nsw page and the closest fin id i found was a hamerhead fin.

Being from vic im not sure of the sharks that cruise these waters, wish i got a better look
