@goldacer1

thanks mate. what r u catching them on?

[sqgl]

Great footage. Thanks. Lakes Mail claims that to date nobody has been badly injured ever in Lake Macquarie but I did stop my sunset swims this year because of reports of sharks coming further south (perhaps due to climate change and warmer waters).

What spot was this exactly please? And what time of day?

[broadcastingmyself1]

well its hard to say exactly because we saw them in a few locations... but this was near pulbah island... about 2-300 mtrs off the 'isolated danger' marker if u know that? its about 600 mtrs northwest of the island from memory.

and again hard to be sure, but i think about 4:30 in the arvo was when we saw most the action.

G'day mate we were out fishing this week on the lake 17/03/11 and followed the same shark for about 30min. It was overcast and choppy we thought we spotted another group of 3 further head but we stayed with the one we had.
