I caught heaps of very large sharks including great whites out there, the harbour is a major breading ground for them. So kayaking on the Kaipara wouldn’t be for me. A few years back there was a white hanging around the Shelley beach ramp, warning signs posted. Carrots come in after the first big frost, fish the shollows on the left of the concrete marker. |

Yeah kerry Great whites are still there more than one of them to about 6-7 Resident ones so ive been told and signs are still up at the ramp Have Accidentally hooked a couple over the years they go nuts like a marko in the Shallow water and have had one come within a meter of jumping in the boat all pob got soaked from the splash wouldn’t of ended well if it landed in the boat Remember guys if you do hook one of these fantastic animals do your best to release it unharmed these are an endangered Species And they are an Beautiful fish so don’t Intentionally Injure them We can’t control what bites our baits but we can look after them as best we can Remember that the shark is only doing what we are doing (getting a feed) and they have just as much if not more right to be there than us it’s there home |
