Bored without any waves, so how about this:

112 recorded shark sightings in WA waters since beginning of July (=100 days). 55 were reported as GWS, 3 Bronze, 2 Tiger, 1 Hammerhead, 1 Mako.

There is 10,000 out there. It doesn't really matter how many we see.


EDIT: it's 113.....and 2 Mako sharks as I caught one the other day.

Anyone fancy a dive at the D9 wreck in Cockburn sound. Check shark alarm website there has been a sighting there almost every second day.

No need to travel that far. There has been a sizeable GWS at Floreat for the past couple of days.
Shame I narrowly missed "interacting" with the GWS at Seconds yesterday. Bit of a waste of my life-insurance.

There has been times when 3 or even 4 have been there together.

Yeah but fisherman have been boasting that they have sat there for up to 5 hours feeding them[}:)] No wonder they are hanging there.

One guy talked about one sharks stomach nearly doubled in size in teh time he stayed fishing. He referred to it like the Joke from Monti Python involving the wafer[}:)] I find that really stupid and detrimental to train a shark to stay for a free feed.

Oh and what did fisheries do Nothing.....As per usual

Apparently there has to be an imenant threat brfore they take action. Its becoming a joke. Just as well the banks are shot. Might stick to the skate park.

It seams there is alot of talk and no action, soon someone is going to take it into their own hands and it will get out of control.

There is more than one or two out there for this many sightings to occur on a regular basis, Im really thinking that a cull isnt out of the question but its not a long term solution.

Over 100 sightings of GWS in the past 100 days. Multiple sightings yesterday from Rockingham to Mindarie. Clearly, as we have been led to believe, the GWS indeed appears to be on the brink of extinction.

Nice one Stu
