I reckon the whole lack of food rant over this attack at Red Bluff is b#llsh!t.
IMO if anything, a shark up there would attack due to overstimulation from food be it tuna/mackies or whatever feeding on schools of bait and baitballs and getting super keen and in the mood to bite.
The marine life in and around that area is amazing.
unfortunately only get 1 red for each of yr comments hifi and one for the new guy and one for the scooby. Wished u could buy reds.
Read on one of the news sights just before and 'apparantly' a few people have come forward who saw it and said it was "a brutal attack" with the shark coming back for more with the poor dude fighting it off.
Not that witnessing any attack wouldn't be extremely brutal.
I just don't really trust the media anymore or ever have for that matter.
Incredible effort by him and all parties involved.
At a guess I'd say either bronzie or tiger but really who knows...
yes suba does base his comments on researched data and actual papers- my favourite from suba's data bank is that whites are like big puppy dogs of the sea.
yes it is what u said however only a short time ago u also stated that you base yr comments on research.
unlikely
Suba not having a dig but at the start of this thread you were putting the attack down to
"less and less fish"
but then in your more recent comment you said
"with the amount of sharks up there, more people in the water and 5HITLOADS of game fish smashing baitballs often right next to the lineup"
I'm just wondering if you honestly think the attack up north is due to less fish?
I really do think that this attack is not relevant to the whole debate, with due respect to the bloke lying in RPH with some nasty injuries it was and is a place that is well populated with sharks. I've been going there for twenty five years and always wonder at the abundance of marine diversity and how we seemingly haven't screwed it up considering the commercial and recreational fishery impact factor. Good management and research has appeared to have worked, with the odd spot/species overfished. As for sharks it's clearly the GWS that is the bad guy here and the one that must be addressed, it is possible that it could be in the area but without a confirmed ID it might as well be Loyd Rayney. I'm more concerned with the lack of Govt action over the last month or so, seems that they need a tragedy for it to be back on the agenda, when's the next state election?
Man , I don,t know anyone on this site bar two guys , the whole lets rip into subasurf and just general man bitchyness is a joke . Let someone have their say and that be it . Not hard .
Doesn,t matter , I come on this site to have a read ,maybe put something up have a laugh , not read slagging on previous posts ,etc from a week ago ,you said this bla bla , who cares . I,m sure alot of other readers feel the same .
fair call i've prob been negative just find it hard to abide know it alls and claimers, woody and bakesy have had some good comments though. will endeavour not to defame others in future but please calm down the claims
also sorry to jb, have given you some greens though to in the past,
the annoying thing also is that i can't find any fault in what the two last attackees were doing. any reasonable person would say the nw is safe due to unlimited meal options for sharks
soleman as far as the gw is concerned the sw-perth-rto is just a short jog
^^good for you, do that then and don't get sucked in like a few have, carry on as normal. i reckon you'll find most of my posts are pretty level, you can have your opinion though. enjoy
