I really don't understand what all the fuss is about and why people even want to catch sharks.
I just regard them as a nuisance while reef fishing and by fighting them I am wasting valuable time when I could be catching edible fish species instead.
maTE ive had a bullie about 2m clear the water about 3m in the air about 10m in front of my kayak on the clarence river have seen them jump on more than this occation though pretty heart in mouth stuff when ya sitting at water level in a bit of plastic and hes right in front of you
Next time I get asked to a pi$$ up on island i,m packing some gear!!!
I don't doubt that story even 1%, I've never seen a Bullie jump but sure have heard some people talking about how they do.
Cheers Tom
I used to think the same....But this year I have had some great fun with small bull sharks in the creeks...Originally Posted by disorderly
The fights are great fun with some good aerial leaps and powerfull runs.
In narrow creeks they really perform and are good sport.
But its not what you do if you want to get a feed.

So which ferry was this suposed to be, Apollo Rd or Oxford St.
Bull shark jumping.....yeh I'll cop that.
Making contact with a pasenger on a ferry........ don't know about that one.
cheers
No-one should be complaining about the papers picking this up. The pic was posted on a PUBLIC forum.
Do you really think there are no Ausfish members in the press?
It was an impressive catch but I think any fish that's preggers should be let back out. It's only right.
Not sure how the papers came up with that though. Are you sure the bloke who caught it didn't contact them? They seemed to know a fair bit about what went wrong, though it wouldn't surprise me if they made certain things up. This is the courier mail we are talking about...

My mate and wife were waiting on the Bulimba side, the Ferry was taking its time in comming over. To clarify the story i asked again , he was told "the ferry hit a bull shark and it struck a gentlemen whilst in the air and fell back in the water" I could imagine the Ferry was moving in the versinity when the shark jumped giving the impression they struck it causing the jump, While airborn the shark struck a fellow on the ferry, now struck could mean contact with no injury.
As stated before although my mate heard it from the driver ( and ony he or the passenger can verify) It is plausable that this could occur, why it didnt make healines is unknown, maybe its not reported for a reason ? Like i wont use the ferry in fear of being hit by a sharkI could imagine the headlines though FERRY PASSENGER GETS ATTACKED BY SHARK DUE TO INCREASED FISHING IN THE BAY- EPA SUPPORTS FURTHER CLOSURES DUE TO SHARK ATTACK
[QUOTE=tigermullet;782800]Bull sharks jump all of the time - frequently seen and sometimes right near the boat.
After a period of calm weather when you see the first Bull shark jump it means that the south easters are three days away.
Yeah, i agree, i also believe there is a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow and if you pull faces and the wind chages your face will stay that way.......
Whatever.....
Yeah? Well, I happen to know for a fact that Elvis is alive and well and managing a 711 store in Newcastle.
