Re: Spearo dies on Cape York
Sad to hear.
Do shark shields work with crocs - has anyone done the research?
You won't find me in the water on the coast in the far north and local knowledge is a must have.
Re: Spearo dies on Cape York
Very sad stuff for sure.
Take care up there nickstock.
Re: Spearo dies on Cape York
Wouldnt think so Cormerant. Shark shields use electrical currents to aggitate the highly sensitive electro receptors sharks have to detect prey. Crocs dont have these so wouldnt think they would do any good.
One of the local fellas came across about a 4m croc lazing on the beach just inside the Cape here in Townsville last weekend. Pretty popular spot to stop of for a quick dip and just around the corner is a popular spearing spot. If your in northern waters there is always the chance I suppose but anyone going in the ocean takes a calculated risk. Certainly a real shame when someone strikes it unlucky though like this poor bugger.
Re: Spearo dies on Cape York
So a croc may well be in the open ocean up there? To heck with that!
Re: Spearo dies on Cape York
Yep, but not common. I have seen a croc over 16 nm from the coast off Cooktown
