Would you swim here? No mate I wouldn't swim anywhere in AU unless it was a swimming pool and even then there's people who have woken up to find a Croc in their swimming pools. Ya not even safe on land. Here's a small list of what AU has to offer, respect them at a distance! White sharks, Bull Sharks, Tiger Sharks, Blue Ringed Octopus, Box Jellyfish, Cone Snails, Tiger Snake, Red Back Spider, Sydney Funnel Web Spider, Stonefish, Brown Snake, Inland Taipan, Gators and Salt Water Crocs, Irukanji Jellyfish, Death Adder, Red Bellied Black Snake, Yellow Bellied Sea Snake, Blue Bottle, Highland Copperhead, Lionfish, Bull Ant, Giant Centipede. And these are just some of the ones I can remember I am sure it goes way higher when this list would cover as far a field as Tics also. I mean you can't go about life worrying what might be under each stone you encounter but still the fact remains you need to be extra careful in certain places opposed to others.

Tipping them upside down puts them into what's called Tonic Immobility.

We always used to use wire trace Josh,but we never targeted Bull Sharks.

Cheers mate. I love doing the work 👌😂

Yer mate there just juveniles they won't worry you while you are swimming. But the big females that go up the river to pup will give you a bit of curry. Some of the bulls we see while spearing on the reefs a lot of them you would have a hard time getting them in your boat let alone the net. Keep up the good work 👍

Just goes to show you how many large female bull sharks are puping in the river Delta's on east coast Australia, I got ramed by a 10foot bull shark while spear fishing in the nambucca river had my bag of fish tied to my hip and was coming up for a breath and all of a sudden I got ramed in the back of my legs as I hit the surface, My legs got pushed forwards i looked down an was like fuck An seen the bastard swimming back down deep I got straight out of the water It was bloody full grown bull shark dont like spear fishing in the nambucca river any more You should keep some of the small Bully's for flake good eating bro

Yes the horse trainer who was letting his horse swim got a fright when the horse started to panic and he found a big bite on the horse, this was up beyond a dam where bulls can't swim to so they must have been living up there before the dam was built

Are you hooking your live bait through the back or through the stomach?,it looked like stomach.

@BrisVegasFishing

Depends on the size of the bait normally. If it’s a big mullet I’ll rig it through the nose, but normally go through just behind the stomach to allow the bait to swim a bit more freely.

We call them threadfin salmon or king salmon over here. They are a very bizarre looking fish but great sport and pull some drag.

@@BrisVegasFishing next time you go shark fishing wrap a little copper wire around the hook. The salt water with different metals making contact produces an electrical field. Sharks can detect it quite well and will hit harder and more often. I’ve caught some around 3 meters long using that method. Where I grew up we get some pretty big ones. Last month they caught and tagged a great white 4.27 meters and weighed 1270 kilos.

When I was using mono filament it 70lb Schneider was the best, my wire trace was only a 20lb nylon coated steel trace.

Maybe you should use heavier gear if your targeting sharks so you don't keep leaving hooks in an important part of the river eco system. The bull sharks aren't too interested in people they like mullet. A bit further along the river i used to water ski in the 80s & 90s, loads of people used to ski & float about in the river in those days. We used to ski & swim all afternoon a few days a week till 7.30pm & just float down the river in our wet-suits for hours sometimes on the weekends well into the dark. The only time i ever had a problem was during the day a large shark hit me in the chest while floating in the river at 17 mile rocks & that put me off a bit. Two weeks later a 14 foot Tiger shark was caught under the Centenary bridge. So man eaters are there but if they were hungry i think they would have eaten me long ago.

Would I swim in any salt water or river connected to the ocean here in SEQ, not a chance. Canals and such are riddled with bulls. I know one family whose kids were swimming not far from bull sharks without even knowing when earlier that day a dog was chased out of the water by a shark. Also know someone who used to go to magic millions years ago and they said you would see the sharks in the water
