Went out last week just off Safety Bay ( about 6km) for a fish , have seen many different types of fish over the years , including a huge sunfish, giant bait schools , whales ,tuna jumping everywhere, and lots of sharks, BUT what swam around my boat last sunday we initialy thought was a small whale, for about 2 seconds , then we realised it was the biggest White Pointer I have ever seen, it was about 3mtrs deep at least, in crystal clear wind free water ,the boat is 6mtrs long and it at that depth to be at least as big as the boat!!
I once gaffed a mako shark that swam past , and being only inches below the surface I thought it would have been about 2 ft 6, how wrong that judgement was , upon the gaff entering near its head the shark went crazy!! after getting a rope around the tail and one around the head we finaly brought it onboard, it was 5 ft 10inches!!.
So thinking about that if this shark was 6mtrs long while at least 3mtrs under the water it would be a freekin MONSTER !!!
20 minutes after seeing it ,heading in the direction it was heading , Safety Bay would be where it could be,
So keep your eyes open while your out there boys and girls cause if this thing just had a little bite you would dissapear!!!
Take care out there
