Re: Nth NSW sharks. Can they p!ss off already?

From ‘that’ video, and a great piece written by a diver (iirc on swillnut) the GWS hits, then retreats, because it doesn’t want to get injured by the prey. It will wait and watch for a bit then come back.

I wonder if there was lot of burley in the water from the fisho's which contributed to the presence of the shark?
Very unlikely. You’re not gonna be carting any significant amount of burley fishing on the rocks.

Re: Nth NSW sharks. Can they p!ss off already?
