I was out there yesterday too. Starting to get way too crowded. Maybe a few shark sightings would be a good thing.

I'm calling shark. Great White about 12 foot long by the looks of it. Looks a bit skinny too, so probably pretty hungry.

There has been sighting of white sharks at dead mans, dy point, curly and south narra. 10-12ft agressive teenagers. Curious fellows. But the one above is obviously a dolphin.

The Flippers are massing to gorge on the Autumn mullet etc spawning run. A favourite of teenager GWS as well. Interesting time as awlays to be in the water.

Yep the annual mullet run is on so plenty of sharks and dolphins around. I'm calling it a furken transsexual dugong by the looks of it, sticking its cock out of the water for attention. Is that you Reg?

Its a complete man eater that has taken residence in these areas - noone is safe. Stay at home and you'll be fine. Especially bad around curly to manly stretch.

if we don't hear from you again, i think it'll be fair to assume you were swallowed by a whale.

Another fatal attack at Reunion Island. Honeymooner, with wife on beach. One report says he'd hired a bodyboard, others call him a "surfer". Shark hit him twice. Yep they only ever bite once..................

Oh and by the way, that ain't the shark net contractors boat in the above pic, and they stopped netting Sydney for this season at end of April.
Looks like a rec fishing charter vessel with all those rod holders.
So wonder who and what's going on there..........

It's Singo's boat and he's preparing it to do the same to A Johns.
It rubs the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again

There must be a few of em around. Apparantly they got a very sizeable White off Mona Vale in the past week caught up in the nets. The thing basically destroyed the net and was stuck on the INSIDE. Same boat I think.
