After having been spiked by a stingray in the foot I will be watching them more closely than worrying about bull sharks. Spoke to Tony who also got spiked from one down the Gold Coast a while ago and also had very painfull experience. Also a few months ago another person stood on a stone fish near steps at Manly rock wall.
www.wikihow.com/Treat-a-Stingray-Sting The use of HOT water certainly works. Many years ago got spiked in the foot by a sting ray in Darwin. Soaked in ice water but pain got worse. Rang the hospital who advised hot water was the correct treatment. Instant relief.
Sailing thompsons beach Vict Point Tuesday around 5pm. Up the southern end. Bull shark jumped out of the water about 20 metre's in front of me. Bit over a metre long. I then proceeded to gybe in overpowered conditions and wiped out right where the shark had been. Got going again pretty quick.
