Jamie_S Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Each year in December there's normally a white that turns up around Cape Solander. Logic would say it's the same shark each year but who knows It could be that fellow just dropping in to the Hacking on its journey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowie Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 No wonder the fish are hard to catch lately. Krispy, time for you to forget the kingies, and tackle the shark. I am heading to Melbourne for a few days, otherwise I would give the handline a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busy-livin Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Shark spotted off caltex wharf in kurnell today. It's an app call dorsal fin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NaClH2OK9 Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 There are always sharks in the hacking. And all other water ways. That one of them has been spotted is no surprise. It changes nothing. 1927 I believe was the last shark attack in the hacking. And numbers are depleted since then and human population increased. Lack of available fish is not due to some shark swallowing all the fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yting Posted December 10, 2015 Author Share Posted December 10, 2015 Been around for a few weeks now, its probably been around longer only been spotted recently.

Mr Squidy Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Surely it's a Bull isn't it? White pointer in the Hacking? I guess it could be. Bull's dont usually get much over 3m or so. 4-5 is almost certainly a white or tiger. There are always sharks in the hacking. And all other water ways. That one of them has been spotted is no surprise. It changes nothing. 1927 I believe was the last shark attack in the hacking. And numbers are depleted since then and human population increased. Lack of available fish is not due to some shark swallowing all the fish. Definitely always there, i've lost my share of jew baits to them and been fully spooled twice, Thing is most of the time they are bronzie's, bulls etc and very, very rarely anywhere near that size inside the river itself due to the relatively shallow entrance and lack of bigger prey. . Also worth noting that peoples estimates of shark sizes can be comically off the mark... R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stormy Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Surely it's a Bull isn't it? White pointer in the Hacking? I guess it could be. I worked the Police launch out of Port Hacking for 8 years and can affirm that there have been some huge Whites around the Port and Botany. I had one come up and 'mouth' the prop on the launch and it would have been easily 5m. She showed up every year and was named Lord Nelson, as she only had one eye and many scars on her body. Haven't seen her for a few years, but know for a fact that they are around and do come into the enclosed waterways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark_s Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Where did this happen stormy? In the hacking (I.e. Past burraneer) or out around shark island or jibbon? I am dubious of the 4-5m claim if it's up at lilli pilli or beyond. I can believe a 2-3m bull, which would look bugger, but not a gws (or tiger). Ps, I saw a turtle up opposite port hacking (the suburb) on the weekend and the water was 21deg, cf 19 at jibbon beach so that's a bit unusual.

stormy Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Saw many over the years. Near the bommie, Shark Island, just off Jibbon Beach, Bate Bay. Seen lots of turtles in the Hacking. Had a bloke one year, tossing a stick for his two Labs, next to the baths in Gunamatta. Two dogs swam out and one disappeared in a swirl. Bull shark was the guess, but that is a spot that is packed with people in summer. Yes, sharks are definitely in the Port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
