- Fishing for large bull sharks in NSW Rivers
We catch, tag and release large bull sharks from NSW rivers to assist researchers to learn more about the movement and behaviors of large bull sharks, - กีฬา
Hi there, I was a sea scout at middle harbour on Sydney harbour. I was told never to swim whilst manning a number of sea scout craft as there were too many aggressive bull sharks in the waters.
You would not get me in or on the waters in Sydney harbour unless I was on a minimum 3 metre by 2 metre wide water craft.
So practice and experience rebuffs scientists' theories of minimal shark attack risks as there are two many sharks in the harbour. Way too risky for a swim except in shark protected pools by local councils.
Colonial New South Wales records display a number of fatal and non-fatal shark attacks in Sydney harbour. Check Mitchell Library records. The State Government needs to put up signs warning people of the risks.
Kind Regards Chris Eriksson
I’ve personally caught a few 1-2 metre bull sharks that the meeting points of the Wilson’s and Richmond rivers seem to love chilling around there
Little kid at the end "bye sharky" very cute.
Why does he have the clicker on?
Is there near Iluka somewhere?
What did you insert into his back near the dorsal fin
Hello: we insert a Fisheries tag into the shark and provide the tag number and details of the shark including: date/time, where caught, length of shark, condition on release etc etc.
If someone else catches the shark, there a phone number for them to ring and provide their info, date/time, where caught etc etc.
that way Fisheries can gather info on the shark as to how far it has swam, growth rate etc etc.
What bait do you use
These kinda fishermen I salute... And congrats with your awesome catch, it looked like a very healthy specimen... 👍👏💪
That’s my pop right there ::D
talk to your mama about yourself
Hats off to the fishos tag and ŕelease..Which river and what bait was used..I heard they are fond of eels
idiot
What river was this, the Macleay?
Well done, sir! What did you use for bait, or was it trying to steal your catch? Second, how long did it take to reel him in? Thanks for sharing this.
Hi: we use eel and stingray for bait. We target the Bull Shark to tag and sample for research.
It takes about 30min to pull one in. 👍
@@NorthCoastSharkFishing Stingray wings are perfect for all the big fellas🤘🏼good catch
Good job lads!!!
this is so fake shark live in saltwater not freshwater I hate it when people lie on TH-cam
@@sophiatruong-l9c Comment shows how little you know about bull sharks
The power of that bull looked incredible, i saw a pup pulling a guys canoe up a creek, very strong sharks.
I love how this one swam away as if nothing happened at all.
Good job you didn't kill it. Respect
I think its illegal to kill a bull shark over a certain size
Hi. No not illegal to kill them, but I catch these sharks for research. I take samples and tag them to hopefully find out more information about them. Thanks
@@NorthCoastSharkFishing did you get an news after you tagged one?
Why would he ?
@@Abby-us3qz to eat it comes to mind pretty quickly.
3 meter?
Good catch! What tackle was he on?
37kg braid, 500lb wind on and 400lb wire with 20/0 circle hook mate.
@@NorthCoastSharkFishing yeah thought it’d be around 80lb
Where on the North Coast was this ?
Thats just north of Newcastle few hrs from Sydney
Have you guys ever kept and eaten a Bull shark? I’ve hooked onto quite a few in my boat, but had no way to bring them on board. I’ve eaten Thresher shark, which is delicious. I’ve always been curious about Bulls though.
Hello mate:
No we are only catch and release. The Bull Sharks we are catching are mostly pregnant females that are coming into the rivers to give birth.
Once they are bought to shore, we tag and sample them and provide these samples to Marine Biologists for research.
Take care.
I've heard bull sharks are delicious, would love to eat one, especially when knowing their the most dangerous to humans.
@@czecktj2229 Yes my son caught a three foot one and was as good as any fish we have eaten.
@@czecktj2229ironically humans are more dangerous to sharks
@@Chopper650 how do you judge that? based on numbers? If a shark is hungry and a human is in the water during feeding time. If a human is hungry for a shark and it is near the hook. Seems about even to me.
I just found you mate keep up the good work
what reel were you using mate
Hey mate. I use a penn squall 50 and a Shimano 50
@@NorthCoastSharkFishing thanks legend
is that from the Tweed river
Hi. No down in the Macleay
Wheres that? Nambucca heads gordon park?
Hey mate: no over at South West Rocks.
So happy to see it it released and which such finesse
why did they cut it ?
Hi Abby. We take a fin snip from the shark and other sample for Marine Biological research. From these fin snips they can tell their DNA and other very important research details. We also take swabs from various areas of the shark to support research
The sharks are treated with the highest level of respect and we given them time to recover and allow them to swim off strong
Darn good job mate! Big Bull shark
that day i was land based shark fishing in Malaysia and a lady approached me and said did you know that this is illegal? i ignored her and she called the cops, luckily it was legal to fish for shark but not kikl the shark
Malaysian Karen.
A fine Catch
Well done on setting this Bull🦈 Shark free
💯Admiration👍
Bravoooooo 👏🦈👏🦈👏
I frequently swim with sharks in that river,, well done on the realease! Altough ive lost my right leg to a bull they are harmless and beautiful creatures 🥰
I wouldn't say losing à leg to a bullshark is "harmless"..🤔
@@jguzman1706 ye lol
Harmless 😂your leg just fall off by itself then?
What Starlo means is he lost his leg to a bull because it's their territory and you can be like many @$$holes and gut the waters of all these sharks or you can accept that we share these waters and you can't blame them for mistaking us for food.
Wtf about getting a leg ripped off by one makes them harmless?
nice you didnt kill it, are there alot of people who dont release their shark catch ?
Not here in South Africa. The vast majority of fishermen here are environmentally savvy, so 99% of sharks are released. I certainly don't and won't keep one. The same applies to rays, sandsharks and skates. Not sure about Aus though, but I would imagine they'd be really catch and release focused. In the end, we have to ensure the future of our sport.
What's the reel man
Hey mate. A Penn Squall 50 with 37kg braid
@@NorthCoastSharkFishing squall 50 an absolute beast
Man I'd been having sharks steaks for the next month
Nice catch. Don't particularly agree with your spot though. To much poor handling to release. Pontoon or boat. You know they can knock themselves around on rocks. Still. Like your work.👍
you must be an expert
That was impressive for sure....That's a big Ass Shark.....👍🇺🇸
Imagine if the shark knocks the guy into the water and swim up to him and took a good chunk of his arm. Yikes 😬
The bulls are the most aggressive shark bar none, but it is just part of nature and it's a beautiful, very successful hunter, I love sharks, I've lived next to the ocean and in it, I'm glad I never had interactions with Mr Bill, I say that out of real respect, their great, but their absolute killers, if it clamps down on you, your losing whatever he's biting, and if your alone in the water, pray for help, cause your gonna need it.
Sharks are either adapting to fresh water or always have been able to go in both waters but nowdays we see them more often in the fresh waters .
Hi: yes Bull Sharks have always been able to swim in salt and fresh water. They excrete salt from their bodies to tolerate the fresh water.
The large female Bull Sharks travel up the rivers to give birth to their young to protect them from other sharks.
Right On
Awesome bull shark,measured and tagged....catch and release
That guy was reckless that is the most dangerous shark to be standing in the water w it
Sir: I would like to disagree. Reckless is making comments on Social Media on topics you know nothing about. 😉
Check out th-cam.com/video/RdkNiJHeo3k/w-d-xo.html
Now that’s reckless 😂😂👍👍
Enjoy and thanks for your comments.
:)
I was terrified it would turn and take a bite out of one of them. 😳
Since last post guys ive had the pleasure of a Great white dive off adelaide 🎉 i free dived with a 15ft female for over an hour just to show you there not there to harm us 😊
its clearly a 3m flatty....
Hahhahah
That's massive. Don't fall in the water.
Damn 9 ft that's a big boy
Thanks for returning that beauty back where it belongs.
Hi: we are only catch tag and release 👍
@@NorthCoastSharkFishing Thanks man. I gathered, but I still wanted to express my appreciation.
@@Badvibesdude thank you, it is such a honour to catch such a powerful animal, sample it for research and then release them again. Take care.
Is That Freshwater?
No saltwater mate
@@NorthCoastSharkFishing Wow! I Am Impressed That Bull Sharks Can Survive In Freshwater. Did You Know Sawfish Can Also Live In Freshwater?
Thank you soooooo much for not killing her/him & leaving such a beautiful living being alive...
So grandad how did you lose your leg,well I caught a huge shark and decided to get in the water to start pulling and pushing it about and it got a bite fed up of being manhandled and left with a big hook in my mouth after he cut the wire trace with the bolt cutters,true storey son
I'm waiting for this guy to go sailing into the water.
One of the greatest feelings in the world to me.... Fighting a monster fish!
I can’t imagine how much power that would have. Even the little bronzies go hard when I bycatch fishing for jew
legend. nice catch
And that folks... is why you don't swim in tidal rivers. Their African name, the 'Zambezi Shark' gives you a clue as to why.
No
Shark wrangling legend 👀 Did you tag the shark? I'm so confused. I was feeling so sad for the shark, then suddenly cheering for everyone including the shark 😂
Hey mate. No all tagged and released.
Bad ass shark.... pure nature
Big boy
Woooow big fish shark,good brother
Big beautiful Bull Shark!
Turn ya clicker off of your TLD next time bro... that noise goes straight through me.
Do some they eat em?!😮
Hi: I catch and realise only.
nope i would cut the line
Bye sharkey..😂
Amazing
By sharkie!!!
🙉that racket
Bastard.....setup poor shark! And then ya put him back in the lake where kids swim!
Hi: I catch sharks for research, hence the tagging and sampling of the sharks. Bull sharks have been swimming into this river for thousands of years and killing one shark will not make the river any safer for swimmers. There has only ever been two attacks in this river with the last being in 1919. You have more chance making a fool of yourself with you un-educated comments than you do getting bitten by a shark. Thank you
@@NorthCoastSharkFishing lol yeah. Well said
@@treefrog123a a shark is a shark. They eat meat. How many people got ate and Noone ever knew? I'm sure there are missing persons that was a sharks dinner. Some people are so uneducated.
3 m lol.
wow
this is so fake shark live in saltwater not freshwater I hate it when people lie on TH-cam
Hi @user-wi9vw4yb9o
I would be more than happy to provide with with information to allow you to learn about shark. Please feel free to ask any question.
Three pieces of information that you might be interested in
* Bull Sharks can survive in freshwater and they are (to my knowledge) the only shark that can.
* The river system in this video is actually salt water (where we fish).
* I’m not that smart to edit fakeness into videos 😂👍
Enjoy the day
these bull sharks live in saltwater okay@@NorthCoastSharkFishing
@@sophiatruong-l9c OK
Salt, brackish, and fresh.
