Funny thing is down that way, you can berly for a surface shark for hours and not see one.
Trust me, i've done it on numerous times.... Yet this poor guy gets hassled.
Seems those Yak Fishos get a lot of notice from sharks (and whales).
The old saying "Size Matters"... and i'd rather be in a 6m boat than a 3m nori roll ;)
