Has been cruising between Scabs and Cott in the last 4 hours!
Be careful out there, only kite with a fat swimmer!!!

Dont know why they send all these boat people to christmas island they should just take em swimming over there  |
|

Just watched a youtube on FB, some guys heading out to Little Island for a surf yesterday, they spotted one they reckon was 4mtr's, 300mtrs off the dog beach at Hillarys. 
I was thinking about paddling across on my SUP for a surf yesterday but changed my mind.
This is getting ridiculous, I've got the day off it's 2mtr swell and light NE'er. |

Get out and feed them so they are happy and stay over there |

The buoy at North Cottesloe, about 600m offshore, picked up a signal twice from the wee beastie's tag about 7.10am. But .... the signal can be recieved from about 300m towards the beach and 900m offshore - that's a 1.2km-wide track, non? Signal is best within 150m either side of the buoy, apparently. It'd be nice to know how strong the signal was.

Sounds like it might be the same one that was up this end of town yesterday.

I wonder if there is anyway joe public can access the data from the shark monitoring network buoys. |
|
|
300m or 900 metres, doesnt make any diffference to me.
I think a shark can cover the 1.2km range in under 1 minute.
That's not even enough time to say 1 Hail Mary, not to mention punch out a darkie.

|
|
On second thoughts, it would be easy to punch out a darkie if that thing was close by.

vending machines kill more people than sharks.
so... take a vending machine out with you dump it a few hundred meters further out to sea and it can take on any sharks that come by.

Someone posted a site where you can see when the sharks set the buoys off, I will see if I can find it.

If Perth beaches are not your domain, shut the f-up.

Had a puffer fish wash up to shore today in melbourne!

We had a shark at Yorkeys Knob yesterday. It was only 40cm long. But we have 8 crocs in the Barron River! Maybe we can freight the eight crocs to you guys, drop them in the zone and put some money down.

Hey speed bro, I have lived in WA all my life and hardly ever think about sharks when in the water, but at Yorkies, Cooktown, Cape Flatery I shat myself every time I lost my board.
|

Why would they release information on sharks to the media, that's retarded. Tourism is struggling here as it is.
Tourism is what brings smoking hot tourists to Byron Bay.
Much like how high paying manual labour jobs brings thousands of toothless irish bogan lowbreeds to Perth.

doggie - any luck with that site? another mate was asking for it too - cheers
as far as i know only fisheries and marine safety get the text / email notifications, but would love to hear if there is another one out there for the public to quietly tap into.
|
|

doggie the croc was sick and would not have survived as it had been without fresh water for so long. So they say anyway  It couldn't be too healthy if a friend could wade out to it and take a photo within 2m with her baby in her arms. She didn't know it was a croc until they looked at the photo of it swimming away |

Couldnt find the thread that it was in, the site gave updates as to when a tagged shark swam past a receiver buoy. Time date etc.
I thought it was the thread in the general section.

What did they think it was?
Still cant find the site or thread where it was posted

can you believe she thought it was a big cod or something but as she took the photo it was pretty obvious.

Hey Maz - Royal Surf Lifesaving WA puts out Twitter notifications every time a sighting is reported. Not a part of the Twittersphere, so not sure how to point you towards it...

The shark bouy signals are on google earth - you just need to flag the right layer.
