Port Phillip Bay Shark Scare
As usual I haven't done a post here for ages. No excuse, just never get around to writing stuff down here. Maybe with the new year I'll try and post more often. Hmm. Maybe.
Saw an interesting news snippet tonight about a bronze whaler shark being caught in Port Phillip Bay (see link below).
My partner, Greg, just had a run in with a 3-4m bronze whaler shark while free diving out off Williamstown. If it wasn't for Greg's speargun, he thinks he might not be here today. Ew.
Greg managed to poke the aggressive shark on the head about seven times with his speargun. Eventually the shark took off and Greg made a quick dash for shore. Of course there is more to tell then that but you get the idea.
Greg doubts the shark caught today out off Rye was the one he had a run in with.
