WOW!!!!! Talk about pushy reporting.

This reporter emailed me this morning asking me to do an interview with her.

As you can see I politely declined her invitation. I let the occasional reporter use a photo or video but I do not ever do interviews with them.

Check out her reply email, almost a “threat” about giving her a story, . These are the exact journalists that destroy the credibility of any good ones left out there.

Needless to say, my last reply doesn’t Belong on here, but I’m sure she will mention it in her story regardless.

Massive thankyou to the boys who fixed my shed on the weekend. Now I can resoak and set all the jaws that warped again due to the rain and no back wall, couldn’t thank you guys enough.
Back to work also means I can get the defrost happening on the big freezer. But of a set back with the shed but still on track to have them all done by October long weekend. I’m doing around 30 of them all at once now, so chances are, if your jaw is in this lot, it will be ready with the rest of them on the oct weekend. Thanks for the patience while we have been trying to expand the business along getting jaws out as well, the weather has been horrible for drying and unfortunately it just is what it is when we have a winter like This.

Our order has turned up today!!!!!!!!
Stoked to get to have a look at the stuff you guys have ordered today.

I’ll also be swaging up a heap of traces with the smaller wire and hooks that I use in the lake this week. They will be 3m long and have a 14/0 forged circle hook on them, and we will do them for $20 each or 3 for $55. Send a msg if interested, the traces will be posted out obnoxious Friday, cheers everyone,

With all the lake Mac footage I’ve been doing lately. I’ve been asked the same thing many times. “Can I catch them from the shore?”

You sure can. Here’s a few that have been caught from the bank around the lake.

There was so much positive feedback about me doing the lake footage that I decided that I would go in there one day this week and give it a crack from the bank. I haven’t chased them from the shore in there for over 10 years so time I give it another go I reckon.

SATURDAY STORY!!!!!!

Pulling a 300kg MAKO shark into trailer boats is often where the game begins. No matter how many you have successfully done, a little part of you still has the little “what if” that you manage to bury down deep and just get to work.
This on was a wild one, it carried on and the gaff pole was wrapped in the rope and cracked me in the head. But that’s not what caused the world class medical patch job.

I never put this story out there before, we used to like to pretend that we could do no wrong but that’s far from the case!!!!

We had a fish tied off to the boat at the jetty due to the ramp being crazy busy and I was doing my jaw removal. We had the fish winched up high with flying gaffs in between the boat and the jetty.

I was kneeling down doing my thing when the boat ropes were loosened. I fell forward but couldn’t brace myself against the boat in time and I went head first straight into a 12 inch flying gaff. The thing that concerned me was I felt no pain, but also had no hearing or sight either. I’ve never in my had such a big oil change as what I did this night. We managed to stop the flow with electrical tape earplugs and rags. I had regained the senses by then and finished doing the jaw (dumb) went out to get rid of the remaining meat(dumb). Then went to the hospital where I had a fractured head and a hole you could stick “an earplug” in.

The reason for this story is I get asked more than ever lately to take people or their kids out, I absolutely hate saying no as I’d love nothing more, but things like this happen and I could never put someone else in this situation.

For the record. I love this stuff and would never change a thing.

ONE FOR THE AGES!!!!!
I used to work in a retail boat shop back in the day.
I had a bloke wear this shirt into the shop and me being me, was straight into him
About it. He told me what he really thinks of them and wears it for a joke. I told him about my side hustle. He left the shop, and came back shirtless.
He literally gave me the shirt of his back
In the premise that I wore it shark fishing, this shirt became the token uniform for years before I somehow lost it. Hopefully the fella that gave it to me is on this page and gets to see that I put it to very good use.

A wise old fisherman once said!!!!!

“A new rod must be paired with a new reel, failure to do this will result in small fish and no joy”

Well,,,, that’s what I tell the wife someone said anyway, the new rod built by chris Britton rods looks in its element paired with the new Tiagra 80w.

Can’t wait for the warm water to turn up so we can sort some bulls out with this one.

7 SHARKS TODAY!!!!!!

So. I have had a fair few msgs about the amount of stuff I’ve been posting in the lake when it comes to shark fishing. 99% of it is positive and people absolutely love it as it shows them the truth about the system we all love and live.

There’s been the usual stuff that doesn’t phase me, but I’ve had a few people saying that they usually come up here with the kids for holidays and swim everyday in the lake through the summer and now they are worried. there’s been a couple of people sooking about me making them associate boats with food 😏.

The only one that genuinely concerns me is people asking me if it’s safe to swim in certain places.

I can not answer it honestly. I don’t know the answer and I’m not comfortable with having that kind of responsibility put on me, if I said yes, and someone got bitten, I would never get over it.

I’m just a fisherman who is blessed to have the platform i have, and live the life that I live and have worked out how to find sharks in the lake with good mates over the last 15 years. Unfortunately I can not tell you where they (won’t) be.

I can tell you, from 8am until 11am seems to be my most productive time to hook them in the mornings, and 3pm through until midnight in the afternoons. Murky water means nothing anymore, we have caught more bull sharks in crystal clear water 2m deep than we have in muddy water.

In winter, I find most of my sharks from wangi right down to the southern end of the lake as the water is a few degrees warmer. In summer, they spread out and they are where ever they want to be so I fish where ever I can find bait.

Hammerheads are not a great worry as they are very flighty and have small”ish” teeth.

Bull sharks are like a 300kg Chihuahua with the attitude of a thousand wasps who just had their nest knocked down, hence the reason I will never release one intact in the lake, they usually turn up from October and stay until may.

Now that that’s out of the way, these posts are never made to worry or scare people, it’s genuinely a shark jaw prep/fishing/content page and my full time work, people love the capture side of it and the sharks are there no matter if I’m posting about them or not, I do however, understand the point of the few members of the public that these posts are starting to worry. I will not continue to post daily about lake Mac anymore.

I still have a few clips I’ll post over the next few days, but will focus back on the beach and rivers again.

I’ll still post the odd sneaky one in here but break it up between other posts as well.

As usual, all the full videos and fun stuff will be posted in the subscriber page like normal.

This is only to stop the genuine anxiety within a few people as it’s never been my intention to drive people off this magic lake.

Anyway, if you got through all of that. Here’s some pics from a wild day on the lake Today, it was absolutely insane, with sharks swimming around my boat all morning and being able to hand feed them when ever I wanted to.

CHEERS to you all

IT ALL CAME TOGETHER TODAY!!!!
Wow, what a day, I’m currently going through footage and pics from my morning session in the lake Today.
So far I’m absolutely loving what I’m watching, I forgot my waterproof camera case today so had to risk it with the electrical tape, today it was definitely worth the risk, here’s one of 7 fish I got up
Today.

Last day of filming in the lake today, I will do a full rundown post tonight, but I have some incredible footage already today and have caught 2 in the first 30min and now I’m
Just trying to get some videos.

Shark city today on the lake!!!!
I’ve had some good days over the years but nothing like this. Every bait I put out was monstered in minutes. Have a look at the sounder shots. I Constantly had multiple sharks around the boat all morning.
