Two days off the water and we were ready to get straight back out and see some sharks however it appeared the sharks had other plans! We anchored in the shallows first thing this morning and waited an hour and a half for some fishy action, whilst no sharks were spotted we did have an array of birds around the boat including some White chinned petrels, a Giant petrel, a Albatross and something we haven’t seen from the boat before, two flamingoes flying by! We decided to try our luck else where and headed to the Geldsteen, we did spot a lone Southern Right whale in front of the boat but with no shark activity there we headed to Wilfred’s Klip just outside of Shark Alley and spotted our first shark of the day! An approximate 4.0m shark cruised by and made some attempts at the bait line. This was a fantastic sight for all our patient guests on board and a smaller shark appeared 5 minutes later. The second trip of the day had a feel of anxiety to it…would we see sharks? The divers were about to put on their wetsuits when our first shark was spotted, it was “Frownie”, a male shark approximately 3.2m in length, that we have seen in the Shallows, and around the Island. His activity is very different between the two areas and he appears to be more active at the Island. The largest shark of the day appeared on this trip with “Maddox”, an estimated 4.2m male showing up. “Maddox” is an Ocearch satellite SPOT tagged shark who we haven’t seen in close to a month, however something had changed this time, his tag hasdfallen off his dorsal fin! A slow but successful day out and about in the bay…
