North Australian FISH FINDER TM forums

we get asked all the time about sharks around Darwin, most of time when we do see them up close, they smash your fish when your returning to the surface and take the lot.

here's the all time legend of the deep, Rick with chunks removed from a GT by a 12-14ft Hammer. It's one of those times when at least there's a head left and you get to keep your $120 shaft.

aaaarrrrgggghh!
so do we haveit all wrong? the shary took the GT instead??
at least one shark had a win on the weekend. My mob, cronulla sharks lost yesterday

There's enough left for soup and and a couple of (human) bites as well. Nothing new of course, but it's just amazing how sharp shark teeth are and how they leave such a such a perfectly clean cut through skin, flesh and bone - couldn't copy that with a filleting knife if you tried!

i saw a doco about how the teeth on great whites evolved from their skin! youtube - Inside Nature's Monsters - Great white shark.

yeah BB I saw the same show. I never really thought about it but some of the things in that show are amazing.
I love the girl who climbs around in their guts.. mmmmmm
I reckon she would smell like fish

Is that shot taken at the morning or afternoon feed time, next you will be going down at night.

Thats why I stopped spear fishing,,,eye to eye with a great white was enough
for me,,,

Do the sharks only hit the fish because they see it as an easy target instead of the person holding the fish?

Its usually bleeding, and we aren't their natural prey. Know of divers being attacked when dumb enough to hang the fish on their belt.

we used to hang fish off our belts all the time down on King Island ,never seen a shark then but whites are seen quite a bit there now
