I would love to give some proof of some grey nurse locations such as photographs which i have but theres to much to risk in doing so. I know of at least three locations on flat gravely bait grounds in 20 fathoms plus well away from any structure that hold big populations of these sharks that i have released this season, in excess of 30 sharks a week sometimes ranging from 5 to 10 feet long of both sexes showing very healthy numbers but as the risk is too high in reporting these spots they will remain just as they are unknown.
In my opinion more locations could easily be found all my captures have been taken without wire as by catch targeting cobia, it seems they frequent these areas as there is a ready food supply, these areas are not dived as there is no structure and the depths aren't sutable thus they would never have been counted in the population records.
