Guest guest37336 Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Im never watching jaws again lol jk. Poor people, hope they dont try and kill lots of sharks tho I've got a bet with my brother Stacey that before 2020 there will be a significant shark attack in UK waters,:yes:. There have been one or two reports of Great Whites being seen in many of the med countries and indeed of the coast of Cornwall (now Cornwall would be a a fair bet for an attack,:cool::biggrin:), though these reports (UK) have yet to substantiated I have little doubt that they are there dependent on time of year and food resources. Global warming and the like have had a massive impact on the species found around our shores, from several species of warm water tuna, to sunfish and many other species of fish we associate with the warmer climes. Watch this space Stacey.:wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest51810 Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Me and dave watched a program about bears a year or two ago but it was on sky a few weeks ago again, cant remember what it was called tho. It was a american man that studied bears, he started off by saving two bear cubs whos mother had been killed, they lived in a type of zoo but were going to be killed in a few months. He persuaded the zoo to let him have them and then took them and showed them how to live in the wild. He did this with lots of bears. It was amazing how well he could interact with them. They all ended up coming back to visit him once or twice and he remembered every bear without tagging them. Was a sad ending though, a hunter killed lots of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to ask mate, as you seemed very confident and from first appearance it does indeed look like a gummy, easy mistake to make I imagine, not being funny mate, but you were very lucky there Kev.:yes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest37336 Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 It's a weird thing is wildlife and how people react to it. The VAST majority of people (with the exception of the occasional numpty) would never swim in an area that has croc warnings about, only sensible path to take. But when we go to a beach (particularly OZ) and we see others swimming all our inhibitions seem to go away, I'm NOT saying don't swim, but take sensible precautions, never swim at dusk or dawn, in murky water, or where there seems to be a lot of baitfish. And as far as people thinking that they will be safe in knee or hip high water, think again, not true, vast majority of shark attacks take place in these places. I AM NOT trying to put people off swimming in the ocean, all part and parcel of the Aussie way of life is all, but just take note of the area and keep your mind on what 'could' be around, the same goes for 'Rips', fairly easy to spot if you know what you are looking for,:yes: Cheers Tony.

Sitting on the South Mole at Fremantle and put the rod down to roll a ciggie and bang, off went the rod into the deep blue. Wouldn't have minded so much, but I was only using beach worms, must have been the strongest Bream or Whiting in the bloody ocean,:biglaugh::embarrassed: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sir Les Patterson Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 You eat it every time you buy flake at a chippie. Not at any fish and chip shop I frequent. Besides with so much better tasting fish around why would you consider flake in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerberus1 Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Not at any fish and chip shop I frequent.

Where we were in Melbourne, there was no choice, Flake was the only 'fish' that was on the menu at the local chippies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I guess that's Melbourne for you....having said that, when my partner and I were there for the Grand Prix earlier this year we had fish and chips one night and it was whiting........but that was in the city.

Guest guest37336 Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 You eat it every time you buy flake at a chippie. I must admit when I have eaten flake (could be any number of shark species, including shovel nose) it has been a delight, very tasty and succulent, would pick it over many so called other 'better' fish.:yes: Though don't eat it now but I did used to enjoy it. Used to be one of the cheaper varieties at the chippie, but even flake has now got that bit more expensive. Cheers Tony.:wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
