Fishing for Sharks from a Gold Coast Balcony
October 24th 2006 07:42
Swimmers beware. There are quite a number of sharks in the canals of the Gold Coast. Although not known by many, there have been fatalities in the canals of the Gold Coast and proof they are still around have been shown by Gold Coast citizens fishing for sharks from balconies overhanging the water. Not only are they fishing for them, but they are catching them too.
Rob Hughes is one resident of the Coast who has had some attention for catching the sharks. They are too big to bring up to his sixth floor apartment balcony, but he swings them into the carpark to be dealt with by a friend.
If they are too heavy to drag up then one has to think they are big enough to cause some damage to swimmers in the canals. People still persevere however, being towed behind boats or just swimming about, but you have think it probably isn't the best idea. That being said, the surf beaches are fine and more entertaining and if still water is more your thing, there are so many hotel swimming pools in the city you should be able to paddle about without any issue.
