Sometimes fishermen are their own worst enemy. For several years a large croc had been in residence at our local boat ramp. It had a constant supply of food as fish frames were continually dumped right at the ramp. DERM trapped him [ or her ] 4.3 meters long and shifted it to the croc farm. A croc warning sign has been there for ages. Last Monday I put the boat in and here's a shark about 2 foot long in a plastic bag dumped right at the croc sign. It's just not worth the risk to go anywhere near the water here.
Unfortunately it looks like a fisherman has been taken at Weipa. Article from the Courier Mail.
