Yes very odd, no one could get me to get in a boat to go fishing up there, went once and all I could see were eyes, lots and lots of them out in the water around us, totally terrified me, I was like 10 at the time, never againI've seen that very thing many times. We are often in a 3 meter dinghy and the big boys are twice our size, having said that I have never had an unprovoked attack on the boat. One did attack the boat but only after I accidentaly hit him in the head with the propellor. Also had a few crash into the side when they are trying go under us in a small creek. And they will certainly snatch fish right next to the boat.
Fishing from the bank I am extremely nervous but from a boat with 3 inches freeboard I feel safe. Bit odd really!
Sydney airport 13 degrees. Arrive Darwin 28 degrees. Almost had to strip.
