Cape Nat Great White
Submitted by Seaquest on Fri, 2011-12-30 11:00
Went fishing yesterday off Cape Nat and had a white turn up at one off my sambo spots. Circled us for around half an hour. Started out about 20m out then got closer and closer. In the end was coming right up to the boat.
Was awesome to see, right up there with seeing a whale shark.

Howdy Seaquest, yeah I've probably seen my biggest GW's off Cape Natto over the years. I reckon that fella has probably turned up in our berley trail before too, but he was probly half a meter shorter then. Those pics will probably get the shark nazi's arced up though.
Cheers

great pics
The gw is such an awesome fish , iv had that once off the South African coast fishing off our 6m rubber duck .... the white was bigger than the boat and just circled us for a few min's and cruised off , one of those day's that the camera was not on board . Loved the experience so much that i got into scuba so i could dive with the sharks(mainly just grey nurse , hammers , but seen to odd big bull shark)

Nice Photos
As above, were's the under water shots!!
Last week had a shark hit the surface for about 30 seconds 10m away and even that got the blood running,
im sure you felt a little excited during that.
People pay good money to see them like that!

As everyone else has said
As everyone else has said 'Awesome' Gota love the deep blue of that water as well. Have had some big Tiger Sharks and a massive Hammer Head hang around the boat up north but never had any huge sharks come close to the boat down here, just little ones. (Oh and probably a few crew members that could be classed as little sharks,
)
