Just a heads up.

Channel 7 showed some footage of a 5 metre White circling a boat off Hillarys last weekend. It wasn't on the other stations so you may have missed it.

It's only a matter of time before another ocean lover gets taken.
It would seem prudent for everyone to refrain from partaking in any form of ocean activity until Zuke deems it safe to do so.
Community Service Announcement over.

The original sighting on Ch 7 was 5nm out to sea.

Ive heard three different genuine reports over the last week of the same shark swimming in the area. A few north of Hillary's inside Little island, and one of it behind little island, but i didn't think anyone would have wanted me to post it..

Yes i agree Buster, its only a matter of time IMHO..

Can someone do a "Coronation" and stuff a seal into its mouth?

I saw the one at coronation and I'm suspect howa shark can choke on a seal for days. The shark was seen thrashing around a couple days before it died. I reckon fisheries bungled the tagging and itdied cause of that. Lucky it didn't bite anyone whilst it was in its several days of choking or it would be another fisheries bungle.

It was tagged in South Australia...and managed to swim to Gero. I doubt the death of the shark and it being tagged is linked.
