Do you WA surfers get up this way much?

I was up there a few weeks ago but wasn't really impressed.

The local mullet fishermen are working their nets lately.
Last Sunday between Moffs and Dickey Beach they hauled in a good catch.
Which include FIVE 2 metre bull sharks.
Photos are doing the rounds. Two dead and three released.

The fishermen reckon this has only started happening recently.
But it's not uncommon to pull in a shark or two with their catch these days.

I go partway there wyre ... where another guy was eaten several years ago. I often park under the big cross erected in the dunes and often surf there alone. It's spooky as fcuk.

I dunno how you all do it in full on sharky waters. My mate has been surfing right in the middle of brunswick bar, I just shiver at the thought of it. Then again, I guess if the waves are smoking you can get used to anything...

Fcuk yeah. Spooky waters that I’ve surfed many times alone. I posted about a day out at Pelicans which scared the fcuk out of me and I hadn’t really determined it was a white

7 gill encounters over there are common

Also had a very close encounter with a huge mother fcuker at Cactus in ‘83

Apparently a shark attack at Crescent this afternoon.

Decent bite out of the nose of his Outer Island Board.

Wonder if there was an outer island eye on the bottom side

Ouch

What will it take for our politicians to see common sense and KILL THEM ALL??

FUCKERS

No, I was wondering about the eye though since I have been seeing ads on Facebook for stick on eyes for surfboards to scare away sharks lately.

Looking at the size of the bite I think I would have died of fright immediately.

Just spoke to a mate in Crescent and it wasn’t a local. He’s more concerned about jet skis in the area than sharks.

The other pic seems to show someone being loaded onto a stretcher. Hope he's OK.
