Freediving Spearfishing ( williamstown / Shark sighting )
Posted: Thu Mar 12, 2015 2:35 am
This happened about 8-9 months ago,.. But since im back now thought id share with you boys..
I was spearfishing in my usual spot in Williamstown , great day , and showing a new friend the ropes.
couple hours go by and i have a catch bag full of goodies.
I went with total of 4 people including me and 2 of my mates were from the army so they pretty strong swimmers lol
We slowly separated and i looked around to find myself all alone in around 4-5mtrs of water , So feeling alone i swam back in closer roughly around 2-3mtrs ..
Just as i spot a fish i was bout to tag with my speargun ,.. i spotted something else on the corner of my eye that was much much bigger LOL! :lolf:
As i turned my gaze ,.. i let out a good "F%#K!!" under water and almost shat a brick!! :lolf:
he came towards me ,.. and i had both hands on the gun and was ready to take the shot at its gills ,.. it was either me or him i thought to myself lol :Boxing:
but just as it was in firing distance of my speargun it turned away ,..and all i can see till this day is its big tail slowly swaying left and right away from me ...i estimate the shark to be atleast 100-200kg it was the same size as me and im a big boy lol
I quickly looked up to check where everyone was and it was swimming straight towards my mates so i was screaming "SHARKKKK!!!" so my boys could get ready to encounter it but they never saw it, and pretty much immediately we got out of the water haha!
I think it was more interested in me because i had the catch bag on me that day.
P.s it was a bronzie lol i remember the coloration and the black tips
I heard a week earlier that another diver had same issue with a shark in Mt Martha , shark went straight for his catch bag.
Anyway happy hunting and be safe all! :a_goodjob:
