Dürfen Haie keinen Urlaub am strand machen?

The fish are mullet and around the Easter period it coincides with the annual mullet spawn which has taken place at Fingal Bay since the dawn of time, the shark's are Grey Nurse which are totally and completely harmless to man and you can swim with them but just like playing with puppies you may get accidentally superficially bitten, the shark's are now arriving because the local fisherman no longer net the mullet because of government regulations, as a child i would see the fish boats been launched from the beach, but the mullet harvest like all things is a thing of the past.

is noone talking about those other fish roaming that close to the beach?
i cannot say i've seen it before - after all, humans are rather unpleasant swimming companions

I grew up at Shoal Bay and Fingal was just another of my local beaches. It is, or Used to be, a beautiful long stretch of mostly deserted beach. We occasionally rode our horses along this beach and took them in swimming. Not as far up the beach as shown in this video but further south near the village.
The Bay was a wonderful place to grow up in the 60s and 70s.

Great video. Shows also another thing: Adults stand in safe distance while they let their kids run around in the water as the sharks approach. No comment ...

The beach is Fingal Bay which is in the Port Stephens area of N.S.W. AUSTRALIA and it was once not so long ago a beautiful quite holiday corner of Port Stephens but now has become a another over populated area of the n.s.w coastal areas, shark sightings are very rare and as a child we swam there all year round, it's now a place of my childhood dreams.

I was actually camping at Fingal bay caravan park during April. I was scrolling through trending and found this. So the beaches weren't shut for a reason

[MsMattimeo]

I see the annual Shark Herding Trials have started at Fingal this year. My money is on _Fluffy_ to win. What's the name of the shark you think will win?

[alexgibson]

This was awesome. We spent a couple of hours down there just entranced by the sharks & the swirling fish. You can catch us right at the end, with my little boy digging a shark trap in the sand ...
