Drog Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 The shark had no interest in the person. Probably thought the kayak was a seal. I love sharks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retired Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 That's what I thought. He was more interested in the Kyak then her. Now if she had a black wet suit on? Could have been a different story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tman Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 We had a similar incident here on the California coast reported in the San Francisco chronicle a few years back. I still remember the classic line (for me anyway) that the article produced. A guy was kayaking off of Ano Nuevo and a Great White bit the tail off of the boat. The brilliant news reporter asked the guy, "What did you do when you realized that a shark had bitten off a part or your kayak?". His answer was, "I paddled like hell to get to shore." Duh...

Digger Posted October 23, 2017 Author Share Posted October 23, 2017 Me too! Gummy Shark locally known as "Flake" is one of the most popular eating fish in Oz! It's certainly my favourite. Damn! I feel like some for breakfast now~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like some for breakfast now~ I usually soak my fresh caught shark filets in cold water with a little salt for an hour or two. Then I cut it into chunks or strips to batter and fry. Delicious!

Digger Posted October 24, 2017 Author Share Posted October 24, 2017 Yes you need to deal with the ammonia in their flesh. Freezing them will also do it. Whats your favourite? I also love Mako and Hammerhead isn’t too bad either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the summer they are everywhere.... every one is small, about 3 feet... but they are quite tasty and you can fill the cooler pretty quickly.
