Diver tangles with Shark off Hilarys
Submitted by timboon on Sat, 2013-10-26 14:30
It seems a dude had a very lucky escape today when a bitey chewed his flipper off while diving off Hilarys... Apparently was 4 mtrs so no doubt a white...
Time to run the big gear out you shark hunters...
I thought you might like the pic below...
Its a family friend at Streaky Bay SA who is a pro Shark fisho over there but was out catching a feed of Snapper and Gummys when his berley bag rope started to run before being bitten off... He headed one of the Gummys as can be seen on the end of his Gaff and waved it around in the water before this big girl came up for a squiz... Another bloke had turned up not long before to witness and take a few pics.... Not a lot of freeboard left in the 18ft Gannet!!

Albie... Why is it Sharks
Albie... Why is it Sharks approach boats? I think I can see your point of view but this is hardly an example of why... He was a fisherman, fishing... This is no Shark Cage diving boat that chums daily for commercial benefit which I don't agree with!!
