Great Whites off Newcastle

[gillsy]

Just for all you Newcastle people,

these were taken by a friend of mine, as you can see very close to the beach.

He saw 27 great whites that day.

Enjoy

Very cool was that 27 different animals?We get them up here at Coffs Harbour we had one come up along side our boat when we were fishing.

 

[gillsy]

well as far as they could tell it was 27 seperate animals.

He's a wild life photographer so will check things like fin colouration and markings.

they had 2 stay around the boat for a few hours

Always better to go swimming with friends as there is a greater chance if sharks are to come that you will not be the one attacked

 

[SnakeWrangler]

That is mad, I live at Newcastle but am smart enough not to swim at the beach with the sharks. Would love to go out and view them from a boat though.

 

[gillsy]

Apparently there are a few mako sharkes around to,

Which is a little concerning considering i'm Diving off manly on saturday.

o i looked at that pic you can see the beach it looks damn close bout 150m

 

[rafaeltheturtle]

is that stockton beach? ive been game fishing off stockton a number of times and often come across sharks bigger than the boat almost. its crazy cause newcastle beach is like 200m away.

 

[gillsy]

No idea, its newcastle somewhere

 

[rafaeltheturtle]

the best part is, stockton is the only beach without shark nets, but when sharks are found dead in the nets off all the other beaches in newcastle, they are found dead on the inside trying to get out, not the other way around!

 

[blair55]

yep thats stockton beach

seen them many times out fishin

 

[gillsy]

Until we get the electronic shark nets there will be senseless murder of everything.

 

[Australis]

Spear fishing will never be the same for me :shock:

Makos aren't a worry, they are a fish eating species......have a look at the teeth. They are much more like a highly active, highly alert GNS than they are like a GWS. They just have a bad yep because they are so fast, so evil looking and so alert.

I's be much more concerned about Bull sharks, dusky whalers or a pack of bronzeys around sydney then i would of a mako.

thats where the blokes were paddling bait out their surfboards and hooking it up to their game chair attached to their bullbar a while back
thats stocko allright
how long ago were these taken
a while back a whale was sighted with about 20 great whites following it
hooray newy made aps

 

[gillsy]

They were taken on friday.

Awesome, Great Whites are such an impressive animal, and as far as I am concerned they are THE apex predator. They are evolution at its finest.

Thanks for the pics Gillsy, you're a champ. (Does that get me member 569? LOL )
