I reckon theres always a White pointer in the sound most days of the week during peak snapper season (sept- dec) people only see them 1% of the time when they are on the surface or whatever,,lots of other types as well,,

Yep, looks like theres a few around. These pics were taken by my father out-law last week off the back of the reef at hillarys. Sure looks like a white to me. 3 - 3.5mt i would guess.
I'll stick with the tigers in Exxy, you mob south of the border can have the pointers !

One sighted up near Legendre on Hamersley shoal, Dampier last year. Probably following the whales.

A biggy is been sighted inside the Mindarie Marina as well over the last few weeks. Also a decent sized sambo found floating with 30cm plus bite marks out of it..

Since I was chased by a GW on a windsurfer
Dont like the water from the wt side much, and that was 20yrs ago of Leighton. Lucky for me I was not on a wave board but a Cobra Gun speed board, testing a new sail.
At least that allowed me to just outsprint the bugger. Everytime it opened its mouth to bite the board it got waterbraked and missed. Lucky for me. Rode flat out into the beach, broke the skeg and ran, and it came up almost out of the water and bit the end of the $3000 board (in those days it was mighty expensive and luckily I was testing for a company).
Dont like them much but dont agree to just kill them. I just recon stay out of their way.
This event stopped me from sailing and diving, and I havent fully overcome the brown shorts feeling.

I thought when they banned commercial fishing in the metro zone (Lancelin to Bouvard) that that meant they banned all forms of pro fishing??????

Hi Jody
was down at the CPBA club yesterday having coffee and the pro boat went out from the public ramp at woodies, 3 on board with the winch for pulling up their lines, the boats name is planet hollywood, benefit of doubt, could be crabbing or fishing. Well after lunch, think this boat also did survey with fisheries for crab count, as his pro number on the side was covered over last year.
