GW shark attacks yak

You could always just run with the idea...

He does realise that Sharks will eat their own and whatever else gets in the way.

Is that yak a bit low in the water? I should get my eyes tested. That looks risky

Cheers andybear

I thought the same thing AB. That yak looks like its a subsurface boat.

Any yak not called the Titanic would be low with 250 kgs of shark on it.

Statistically speaking we are safer on the water than driving our cars Many people have told me its gonna happen to me but i am about to head north and currently more scared of crocs

Apparently crocodiles tend to death roll when they latch on, and so I'm thinking its during this period before they start eating that they could be reasoned with.

OMG Jamie, what are you on?

Sue
Couldn't agree more...terrified of them.

Unless you are holding on to a big piece of meat that is doing it's best to burley up it's mates.

Be thankful your not in the water with them.

I got mugged by a pack of 8 foot whalers while diving a few months back.

They ate all my fish off the but of the gun and I think one headbutted me when I foolishly decided to takem on.

After all it looked like they might just steal my speargun!

Either way, all I ended up with was a smack in the head for my troubles.

Sharks are becoming a real problem up here.

Their numbers have swelled and the have learned to follow boats because they recognise them as a meal ticket!

Protected sharks = NO FISH

And if I am not more careful maybe no me!

And now there's a pack of 'em who will recognise divers as a meal ticket!

Hi Sue,
I tried fishing for Barra off the creek bank near Jabiru a couple of years ago.
Within 15 minutes I was so paranoid a croc was going to sneak up behind me I hopped in the car and went to the pub.
Sharks don't bother me too much but the thought of being stalked by a sneaky croc scares the hell out of me.
If you are going to fish up there find a local for a bit of guidance first.
Regards,
Mark

When I did a quick google search for "kayak fishing darwin" the first few results seemed mainly to be someone asking about it on a forum immediately followed by "Are you crazy?". While I was there though I saw lots of kayaks, even one that looked to be rigged for fishing. I hear that it's OK as long as you stay out of creeks and rivers, but what would've got me in the harbour is the crazy tidal current; six metres between high and low over easter.

I know what I'd rather have on my tomb stone -

"Died fishing in kayak whilst taken by a Great White Shark for the ride of his life"

or

"Died upside-down, alone in a pub toilet"

???

More spectacular than going while just plain sick.
