just wondering if anyone has seen/heard of any shark (great white) sightings up in Gero? is it as bad as down here in perth? Im hoping to go up there later this summer...
I lived in Gero for 21 years, in 15 years of surfing never seen a shark in the water. Had more problems with seals biting your leash, dolphins pretending to be sharks in the corner of your eye, that type of thing, but no sharks

I crayfished off the Geraldton, Kalbarrie and Dongara coastlines for a few years. Now that is where you see sharks.
Mostly Bronzies and Reef Sharks, I remember working Big Bank one season and having 20 fins following the boat eating our rotten bait.
Ask any crayfisherman pretty daily occurrence having sharks follow the boats. Biggest shark I have seen was around 4m's - big Bronzie, take a leg off no problem.
Never seen a Tiger or GW on the boats. Others have.
