18 February 2001, Mappo And Darcy
Location: Bass Strait, off Cape Woolamai Time: 6am-12.30pm
Type of Water: ocean Type of Fishing: boat
Target Fish: Sharks
Bait\Lure\Fly: Slimy mackeral, barracouta, squid, pilchards
Fish Caught: 2 x Blue Shark @ 9 & 6ft
2 x Sand Flathead @ to a kg
2 x Barracouta @ to 4ft
Comments: Fished in 50m of water out from Cape Woolamai. Had a 9ft blue shark swim up the berley trail to the boat and commence attacking the motor, putting teeth marks on the shaft and propellor. Filmed this for about 5 mins and decided to try and scare it away. Couldn't get rid of it, tried tapping it on the nose with the berley muncher. The shark would just do a circle and chomp on the motor once again. The only way we could get rid of the shark was to put a hook in its mouth. Weather was warm with a slight north easterly breeze, seas were calm.
