Re: Nth NSW sharks. Can they p!ss off already?
It's 80-85% GWS that are caught on the drumlines. (From incomplete DPI records)
AFAIK the drum lines are pulled up, i.e. not left overnight. Could speculate this is why not many bulls are tagged as they are active dusk to dawn. GWS active any time, as shown by tags/pings/observations/encounters.
One would like to think the DPI records all this data and are crunching the statistics. It's not on their site, and Dorsal are on record they put everything the DPI gives them on their site.

You gotta remember that its only surfers lives that are at risk here so it doesn't really matter.

Re: Nth NSW sharks. Can they p!ss off already?
No they're not. White sharks are the drumline catch/tag species du jour, and tigers in central and northern Qld.crabmeat thompson wrote: ↑Sun Jul 23, 2017 8:45 ambull sharks have been around in mass numbers for eons, and that is still the most common shark tagged and pinging the receivers.
and they're doing it at a number of 3 or 4 to every one gws.
Way more tigers caught on drumlines in Australian waters than any other species.
Bull sharks are more typically found in meshing. Quite a few were GPS tagged by boat-fishing after the diver Paul de Gelder was attacked in Sydney Harbour. The tracking showed for the first time that bull sharks regularly migrate up and down the coast.

Apparently a good number of bulls were tagged in the Bellinger river while testing the smart drum line alert system.
Also numbers tagged at various times in the Richmond, Macleay, Manning etc.

What is not being talked about is that when the CIA kidnapped Harold Holt, they put him in a ultra dark project where he was transformed into a GWS.
This transformation took decades, and he's recently been released off Byron to sort out all the blow ins there, but being an ex-Victorian, he doesn't know the area so has confused Lighthouse Beach with the Pass.

We always swam west of the weir at Murwillumbah. Don't think sharks could climb over. You still occasionally hear of things like seals and dolphins going up river.

Only 6 out at Cathy's. That's pretty rare these days isn't it, Rust?

Bit of a bullshit artist, is he?
Bitten twice by a shark, punches it in the head all in time to catch the next set!

Definitely. The silly Euro cunt probably hit the rocks jumping off. His 4mm wetsuit saved him? A sharks teeth wouldn't have any problem penetrating 4mm of neoprene. But hey. He's got a story to send his friends and family back home.The Mighty Sunbird wrote: ↑Tue Aug 29, 2017 8:54 pmBit of a bullshit artist, is he?

Re: Nth NSW sharks. Can they p!ss off already?
From what I know of him he was most likely taking the piss a bit, on the other hand the lad's may have just put a few gouges in the bottom of a board and its uncrowded waves for a while.
Re: Nth NSW sharks. Can they p!ss off already?
That was my first thought. Trying to scare the crowds.
Re: Nth NSW sharks. Can they p!ss off already?
So what's the probability it's BS. No shark bites at all?
Re: Nth NSW sharks. Can they p!ss off already?
Sounds like one of you realsurf journalists should come down and ask a few questions

Looks like a proper bite, but from a 6ft-max shark.
Re: Nth NSW sharks. Can they p!ss off already?
That reminds me of the time I fell off my board onto a shark. I should have made better story: get cements to interview me; fighting for my life; whole life passes through my mind; etc
