If that was twenty years ago in cold war era I would say "Russian mini submarine"

since we have friends only now I guess:

"boat people smugglers" found new way to get to our beaches

10 people should fit easy inside "rubber whale submarine" belly




If I were you I would try to poke a hole at least in this rubber belly with your rod.

Would be interesting to hear the photogs guesstimate at the size of that lass. Going by the pic I'd put it at the upper limit of their range 5-6m. Bloody big fish.

Yeah right, hadn't thought of that, might be a good time to rethink the closure dates. The water temp has certainly plummeted in the last coupla weeks.

Yeh, I just saw it on the news too. A 5 metre monster! I thought they were in a boat, not a dinghy.

If I was a kiter I would think twice before launching at Woodies!!

Miller, Leech and I were sailing our local when they saw a fin about the size of this shark on the inside. I never saw it thank fruck
There have been numerous sitings around the area and for some reason I continue to surf and sail this spot although the month of November is the only time of the year we stay away

I suppose the only solution is to ride with a roo steak on the wet suit, and in case of an encounter, just throw it as far as possible and shout "whitey... FETCH! "

I'm not so sure on the efficiency of this method and won't be hold responsible if anyone tries it with no success!

Ok I give in... what is it?
Cause it looks like a whale to me


It's quite clearly a GWS. You can see the white area around the anal fin clearly and it looks as though you can see the long white of it's claspers, which also suggests it's a male.
Plus the presence of a dorsal fin can be seen in the first image...albeit a refracted image.

Should have chucked the two Shark wrangling dogs in..At least we could have used them to gauge its size..

I'm guessing thats why the surf has been quiet.

Looks like a great white, maybe 3metres.

What did they identify it as?

you think If thats 3m then my 8 inches is looking more like 4



from a man who knows his shark sizes.

And I agree - if thats 3M its making my 4 look like 2

Can you explain this to me?
What makes you think it is mandatory for a shark to always be finning on the surface?
