That ballina 7 whale just looks like he's feeling a little bit flat, push him back out.

Yeah i piked at port st. Johns in the transkie, never got psyched anywhere else in sth africa even after seeing a shark right next to me. Can't explain why to this day, the place just had vibe

And they are also fcuking impractical things to move around on land. That's a point worth considering. Nick probably has the luxury of leaving his craft in the clubhouse. The novelty of loading a ski onto the roof, especially if it's a tall vehicle like 4B, then unloading it and carrying it down to...

Is there any evidence culling Sharks works?. And how do we identify which sharks to kill?, just the closest to the boat? The W.A. cull was a disaster, financially, in a public relations sense, and in practical results. Not one single Pointer caught. 172 sharks caught, 68 "shot" Nobody feels any saf...

Here's my take on it Woolly. I can't see how a cull would make any difference. There's always sharks around, always will be.
To me there's no point even considering it.

My limited understanding of tracking fish (I refuse to say sha.. any more until all this blows over) is that radio signals do not travel through water, so GPS only works when the sha... fish surfaces, as Nick said. Sonar tags can only indicate where the fish has been if within a certain proximity to...

Outside Castles? That's where Sharkbait got hit.

My son's mate Kyle, at boneyards near Dunsborough. Well, they recovered his torso. Son had been out there with him the day before. Those 2 deaths on consecutive days at Cactus and Blacks are the ones that really stick in my mind. Local myth is that it was the same shark, a big old, but lean shark in...

Put up a couple more Kayu, looks beautiful.

Sharks are tearing us apart !! (Metaphoricaly)

Wasn't one of the divers who got taken in WA wearing a shark shield?

I recall a case where a diver was killed, SA or WA, he was wearing a shark shield but it wasn't turned on

Board selection question Nick. Knowing you have a decent quiver from which to choose, does duck diving ever come into the equation when deciding what board to use on a particular day? I know for me at least, I've taken a bigger board out on a solid days, to suit the wave size but paid the price tryi...

I am not sure there is much choice in it though, like do you choose who to fall in love with? On some level perhaps. But there's plenty of examples of people falling in love even when it is insanely inappropriate. I myself have experienced this. Who was he? She, cranked. You're not really getting w...

I am not sure if as a fisherman you would have seen a whole lot of evidence of the great white shark migration, I imagine you would have been seeing a lot of other kinds of shark, mako and bronze and the like, but a lot of them might have gone missing when there are big tigers or white sharks aroun...

How close in do whales swim at Ballina/Byron? Like the general migratory group? Do they generally come in within 2k of the coast or closer. or are they out 8-10k? I don't know about up there, but in the Newcastle, Port Stephens, Central Coast area whales come real close on the their way north. Like...

Also came across some advertorial announcing that they will make a Shark Shield version to be built into a surf board, ETA early 2016.. The guy that owns Katana Surfboards in Perth already has Surfsafe which is built in and rechargeable. http://surfsafe.net.au Installation vid.http://surfsafe.net.a...

Not just whales but Australian salmon. Massive increases since large scale commercial fishing for them stopped. Used to be rare for them to be found north of Sydney. They now move up to the Queensland border and beyond. And they are a major food source for juvenile and teenaged great whites before ...
