The World's Most Shark Infested Spots

[Big Shaun]

Zoo Weekly have listed the world's most shark infested spots on the pub ammo page of the current issue. Following is the order and I have no idea where they got there research from but I was to surprised Brisbane was listed at number 8 for Great Whites.

2. Kahana, West Maui, Hawaii...............Tiger Sharks
3. Racife, Brazil......................................Variou s Types
4. North Shore, Oahu, Hawaii................Galapagoes, Sandbars, Tigers
5. Umhlanga Rocks, KwaZulu Natal, South Africa.....Great Whites & Bulls
6. New Smyrna Beach, Florida................Blacktip Sharks

I have heard or seen somewhere that Brisbane has a heap of sharks but they were bulls. I wouldnt think that there is more white pointers at Brisbane than down south around SA and lower WA. i think they stuffed up.

Dedicated to high level integrity in their reporting I'd expect Time or National Geographic, but NOOOOOO the statistics come from where

ZOO WEEKLY - believable - doubtful

Brisabane and great whites, yeah maybe when my dad was a lad back in the 60's but I doubt it these days. Besides most of queensland has Bronze whalers, tigers, Black tip Reefers, grey reefers, bulls and some other really nasty ones.

Go to the reef up north and you generally get 1 or 2 keepers per spot before you get busted up by the sharks...

ZOO WEEKLY - Gees that cracks me up

I'd gues the zoo team looked up a game fishing records site and did some pasting.
Any mention of Bob Dyer?

[Jungle Jim]

I don’t read Zoo for the statistics.....

Although if anyone would know WHITE POINTERS it would be those guys...... ;D

I did hear the Tallebudgera Creek has the highest population /area of Bull Sharks on the coast

Yeah Jim ... I think someone mentioned white pointers in The Valley;) and they totally misunderstood?::)

[kokomo]

brisbane does get white's.. they come up with the wales

some of my spearo buddies saw some last winter off moreton..

but as a top 10.. yeah lol... but they do exist...

top 10 for bull sharks id believe but for nothing else imo

[Big Shaun]

I would think bull sharks as well. Anything relating to fishing is worth posting imo even for a laugh. Zoo Weekly has some nice white pointers...so does it qualify as a fishing mag?

I am impressed that you actual read the articles in Zoo. I didn't even know they had any!

[finding_time]

One of the top Tiger shark spots in the world would be Raine Island in Nth QLD when the turtles are laying, and as far as great whites go they were close, the Gold Coast has a very high white pointer ratio!

[struktcha_man]

I think the mean Bull sharks for Brisbane..lol

[ronnien]

if you believe zoo than you will believe me when i say that the sun will never rise again!! what a load of crap.

[goldfish]

isn't Kookaburra park (karana downs bris river) the most consertrated for bull sharks in the world. i remember sometihing about it from a doco. because thats where we go skiing.

Years ago when Tangalooma was a working whaling station there were heaps of whites in the bay and the concentration of whites in whaling season was unbelievable according to the old pros at Dunwich (none of them are still alive to ask anymore)
Byron was just the same except the whales were caught in passing as opposed to when they were aggregating in Moreton Bay
slowly as the whaling was stopped the numbers of whites has dropped dramatically
we were going out through the south passage bar 30 odd years ago when we used to pro fish for mackerel in a 14ft clarke abalone while we were passing a trawler there was a pair of whites way bigger than our boat following so we discreetly took a wide berth

these days South Australia or WA would have to be the high spots in Aus

Yeah they say Byron gets them (and even a few attacks too), because it is Australias most Easterly point and closer to the big currents moving up and down the coast.

I was talking to a guy and we where speculating that there may well be some great whites alive that where alive in the whaling days and still pop in on their way past just to see whats up, or if there is a feed around like the old days :D .

cheers

yeah i saw a doco that put the brissie river as number 3 most populated (in the world) with bullys and they were fishing around jindalee tagging sharks while there were skiers behind them lol (just like down the pine ).

cheers
