I wonder if the Lancelin shark was inside the reef or outside?

Oh, Ok it was outside the reef but not far outside though!

There was a 4m shark spotted off southern end of singleton this arvo too, 30m offshore

who spotted the shark at singleton swimmer, surfer, fisherman ect. I was out down that way about 4 ish till 6 nice conditions for the fish or long board. I got to stop reading these post's, surely everyone is just looking for them now.

Nearly extinct, or so they say...

I read it on the SLSWA facebook page

From Sharkalarm.com.au

"The shark that was involved in the most recent attack on a surfer at Red Bluff, (north of Carnarvon in the Gascoyne) on the 28th August 2012 was being tracked by Fisheries W.A for weeks prior - yet Fisheries had given no warning to the public and no information to Shark Alarm. The sharks involved in the last 4 shark attacks have been sighted days/weeks prior to the attack, many not reported to authorites and Shark Alarm."

This indicates that culling of beach-prowling sharks could be effective at reducing shark attacks on humans.

^^^How do they know it was the same shark?

Im all for culling but research needs to be done on the white's behaviour before we all grab our pitch forks

Actually two fins were reported first. Then SLSWA said it was a sunfish. I questioned how they confused a 4mtr great white with a sunfish? They said they acted on reports, sent the chopper down and saw only a sun fish. SO they said sun fish. But then said it must have been a shark as well Confusing much.

Does anyone know how far south and north the spotter chopper goes

I also thought it was interesting no reports on Sat, the chopper or ring in's but Sunday there was about 5 in total but still none from the spotter chopper.

had a surf at redgate on saturday with a mate and was actually talking to him sayin, gee this beach is probably a good spot for a shark with the steep drop off behind the rocks and the seals that visit the area. Hadn't thought about it much untill then. Perth now reported that it was sighted at redgate. FFFaaaaarrrk!! surf was good too

Hey JBS the choppers fly over margs and gracetown all the time in summer but not sure how far north they go past cape naturaliste.
