Blacktip Gang


Today I had a tussle with a gang of Blacktips on Aliwal. It took me three hours to find sharks... I tried the deep off the north east pinnacles first, but with no luck. After moving down south, I came across a whole bunch of Blacktips that Mark Adisson from Blue Wilderness had pulled in. (I have to mention this 'cause I poached his setup a bit, thanks Mark.)

Before long these racy individuals were tearing around like a 3D banger car race, and everywhere I looked, a shark popped up. In amongst the chaos, their manners were impeccable, and although I had Blacktips ripping between my legs at times, I never felt that I was under threat.

To tell the truth, I was hanging for a Tiger, but the Blacktips don't dissappoint, they certainly put on a good show!
