"Get out and stay out of the water on the Eyre Peninsula if you are paddle surfing."
As the South Australian surf town of Streaky Bay tries to return to some sort of normality after the death of local surfer Lance Appleby, disappeared by a Great White while surfing Granites three weeks ago, news that a Great White has been spotted patrolling the popular surf spot.
Amid warnings the Great White population had returned to “pre-white man biomass” and that surfing on the Eyre peninsula was effectively over for anyone squeamish about being hit by a Great White, the shark was seen just thirty feet from the rocks.
Streaky Bay shark fisherman, surfer and authority on Great Whites, Jeff Schmucker, the man who caught the seventeen-foot, ton-and-a-half fish that killed surfer Cameron Bays at Cactus in 2000 and which was still hanging around six weeks after the attack, posted the warning on his Instagram account.
It was Schmucker who warned surfers, ten hours before the attack on Lance Appleby, to stay away from Granites after one mate’s cray pots had been grabbed by a frenzying Great White and another mate, fishing for whiting, had been stunned by a sixteen-foot Great White attacking the little fish in a couple of feet of water.
One year earlier before the attack on Lance Appleby, 55-year-old Tod Gendle was hit, killed and disappeared by a fifteen-foot Great White while surfing among a crowd of a dozen surfers at Granites. The Great White left only Genle’s board and the stub of his legrope.
Earlier today, a light aircraft flying between Granite and Backbench spotted eight Great Whites.
Put the shark down.
Typical gaslighting, stay away there’s hearsay about AI sharks. Locals are running out of ways to discourage outsiders and dispose of bodies.
I wonder if the white has a big a mouth as Jeff S does?
Should be no surprise here.
They suspected this to have occurred once based on an acoustically tagged shark in Reunion Island.
French academics in 2024 PROVED this has occurred on three occasions (published in a Journal) with three species based on pattern recognition of fins/scars etc. The academics said that remains from the sharks responsible for the attacks such as skin on teeth should be DNA checked to look for serial attacks.
That actually used to happen in Australia BUT the local academics managed to self-perpetuate a 99 year embargo on the data to really make sure non-one but non-one would ever discover this in Australia as this would be very bad the academics’ “save the sharks and fund us to do it” business model.
I’m just happy all the whites stopped attacking surfers in northern NSW and west OZ. South OZ needs a few years in the spotlight.
given shit forecast, went with Kanoa in surfival, figured he would scrape and claw through some heats, save the big guns (robbo, griff etc) for down the line – am I wrong??
Looks like gonna be head high backdoor north swells. Seems like a safe pick. Pipe heats are so unpredictable. Other option would be to use Seth and save iggy rash for another event but it seems like a lot of people got screwed by Seth in past years
Seth is the new kolohe. Whenever you pick them….they lose.
For a while there Jordy was like Lucy and her football for me. It took me about four times picking him to finally learn my lesson.
He was on my short list but had exact same thought — now watch him eliminate KI and I get screwed regardless
One thing you can do is look at the survival league IG page and they show the percentages of picks for each contest last year. Kind of interesting. Might give you some ideas.

we’ll need to adjust ours&yous am/pm radio channel…spectrum not!
Imagine if your town was on fucken fire and someone said you deserved it.
what’s ur drink-drink?
not terribly fussy
If I was in hell I’d probably let it slide
Not too hard to imagine the modern American Christian Neoconservative, tbh
you know no-one deserves or merits bad shit happening to them……the person who said it is the real problem in wishing bad shit on others…..it’s his problem not yours !
hope you’re ok
I need Ocean Ramsay to be mauled by a 16 ft white shark before telling me she deserved it. Only then can I make a sound, articulate assertion on this unfolding story.
read Chris Dixon’s The Ocean and we’ll all join you lost on an island…
get fucked cunt, youre the piece of shit that said LA deserved the fires.
I dont care about their apexness, you come at me you gonna die whitey. Kill or be kill etc
save the ‘feeder fish’ and not ‘sucker fish’
whiskey for the EPA…
beer piss for the demos…

I’m a staunch NPR left centrist, but if Trump said smoke all the motherfucking great white sharks I would put on a MAGA hat.

my girl’s name is Windy…
resevoir of salt water sea is an award finalist…

You need an intermediary. For me KPFK and NPR on in the car daily after 2016 1/2 I was done listening about Trans and Trump. After 15 years of enjoying state funded lefty propaganda I had to go find something else. Lary Elder was my intermediary.
Proving true the old adage that converts are always the biggest fanatics
Cull them! Fuck sake. We kill the nice animals that don’t kill us, but these big fish are untouchable?? Fuck off
People are
Endangered just like
Eddie’s haiku
If I can still count
To seventeen syllables
I’m sweet as a nut!

I think the 8 sharks found out, that JS killed their comrade at cactus so now they have decided to where JS lives and terrorize the locals??

Hope you are doing well.
hey nice to see ya back.. did ya go/went walkabout in the mountains??

Good to see ya back!
You got plenty of fight in you still. Don’t go and do something stupid like dying on us before we get to wish you another round of blessings and a Merry Christmas Day.
The walkabout treated my soul well. Filled my freezer too. Was an extended stay on the back country beyond out initial packed in provisions. Nothing a satellite phone and a couple more mules can’t fix.
Bought my neighbor a mean donkey to guard his herd of cattle.
“Merry Christmas ya jackass! Here’s a jackass!”
He promised to take extra care monitoring my place while I’m away. Win/Win.
who’s this fucker JS you speak of?

panama? https://youtu.be/Z3qRXDGApNU?si=Fua2mUxpkdtHghFf
Jeff Schmucker, he’s in the article. Fisherman from Streaky. You probably missed the long back and forth about a week ago related to killing sharks. I don’t think he and Mo are too fond of each other.
just so ya know JS and I had run ins in the early days of towing , where we had developed a code of conduct….” if there are paddle surfers our or coming out..NO skis…we shut down!” JS was just the opposite…towed thru the paddle surfers and was just an arsehole who didn’t give a shit about others…
Damn, am jealous /Bucket list wanting to spend some time in the mountains living off the land….surfing has made me a coastal dweller…
yeah will be a pretty serious fight coming up , again/still….God willing have a few more waves to catch and a couple of original designs being put together right now…….but damn it;s been an incredible life….and just one more chapter….yewwwww
Rad to hear about new designs. Hope these are for yourself and not some ungrateful rider. You got this. When the going gets rough, the tough embrace the rough. You’re a hugger through and through you tough sob.
yeah was getting ready for a relaunch. but health speed bump , now a bit of a delay……yeah getting ready again to go to war with mr C again…just part of life………yeah I am a hugger but try to keep up the exterior facade …keeps people away!!! LOL!!!!
That’s the thing. More people, more planes, more drones, more sharks spotted. Not exactly shocking.
Eight. Fucken eight. Not endangered.
Do something.
Xox
Definitely eight cool!
