Fact or myth? Sharks at docklands?

A regular there told me he once caught a small shark there. He said it went into the docks chasing a school of mullets and garfish. Anyone heard of anything similar?

There have been sharks seen right up the Maribyrnong river over the years, even as far up as Essendon

I have a mate who caught a gummy under the west gate on squid chasing jews.
Not a bad side catch I think.
Try to keep up with the fishing.
