Great white sharks in PPB.

[GTSHoon]

No point living in fear mate.ren't going to be eaten going for a swim. Having said that I don't swim in western port. Haha

why not WP? I thought there was mainly gummys there, with occasional bronzies?
I thought that with seal rocks in PPB, they are in there. (I have heard of bronzies+threshers+makos coming up to frankston)

Seal Rocks is actually at the western entrance of Westernport. You know when something big is lurking down there when the livies stop getting harassed by the seals. Theres also more Bronzies than you can poke a stick at in Westernport. Heard and seen reputable reports of whites and Makos as far up Wp as Tooradin channel.
There's big sharks in both bays all year round. There's millions of people in and on the water each year and bugger all attacks of any kind.

I hear there's no sharks in freshwater lakes...

Not true there are bull sharks in many northern Australian lakes, such as the very famous ones in a Sydney golf course :thumbsup: literally sharks everywhere

Why arnt we allowed blood and guts for berley?

Are you serious with this question?

Sorry for my ignoramce im new to fishing and i just find it hard to come to an answer why blood and guts is not a legal burley.
The reasons i can come to is, to protect shark populations, incase it was human remains, or just attracting sharks is stupid in somes eyes.

Oh god it's Sharknado all over again :lolf:

Interesting re the couta and arrow squid in the bay bringing in the sharks as we catch a lot of arrow squid in Corner Inlet and bass strait could be related to the number of sharks around as well.

IMO the buckets of blood and guts is not required.

Some berley certainly helps, and last time I checked you were still allowed some but bucket and buckets and buckets as was commonly used in years passed makes very little difference.

[Wolly Bugger]

In regards to the use Mammal blood and offal, this is not really the sharks natural food source, and it has been shown that the use of such products as burley increases the risk of shark attacks to humans.

There are complaints from particularly abalone divers that charter boats even using fish oil, teaches great whites to associate a boat with food, thereby putting the divers life at risk.

Spoke to an abb diver of point wilson told me he has seen them there.

true. sea rocks are near the penguin sanctuary right?

fresh water has fresh water sharks (potentially), snakes, leeches, possibly pacu (not) annnd..yeah. crocodiles and stuff - potentially.

offtopic even more, isn't the bang hole at the penguin place? where the water goes in and explodes outwards?

Northern areas have bulls, like, sydney harbour, perth - swan canning river, fitzroy river etc. seems we don't get them OFTEN
