The sharks must have been well rested after the holidays as it wasn’t long before the action started today! We had calm waters with minimal wind, giving a very serene setting as the sharks swam by. There were quite a few larger sharks throughout the day with the biggest one measuring in around 4.2m, who gave us some very close passes! It was one shark in particular, however, who stole the show today; a smaller male on our third trip, with a satellite tag, who literally kept circling our boat the entire time! He continuously jumped for the bait line and decoy one after another, and switched directions trying to keep us guessing which side he’d be coming from. Let’s hope this feisty little guy stays around the bay for a while…
