Fisherman finds shark in lake

A large great white shark has been sighted in a lake on NSW's Central Coast, prompting warnings for people to take caution in surrounding waterways.
A commercial fisherman snagged the beast this morning while casting nets off Canton Beach, on the north side of Tuggerah Lake, which opens into the Pacific Ocean at The Entrance.

Tuggerah Lake is about 12km long and 5km wide.

Police said the man was forced to release his nets when the full-grown white shark, estimated to be up to 7m long, became entangled in them.

NSW Police are working with Wyong Council, Surf Life Saving Australia, coastal patrols and the NSW Fisheries Department to monitor the area.

The shark was last seen heading south towards the middle of the lake.

Police said people should take caution when using the interconnected waterways of Tuggerah Lake, Budgewoi Lake, Lake Munmorah and the Entrance Channel.

No one was injured during yesterday's incident. AAP
