Hi All, I have returned to work after an epic 5 weeks on holidays.. anyway during a fishing trip last week about 5km just North of Rotto I got to see my first great white.  We were fishing in 40mtrs of water and not having a lot of luck when my fishing buddy pulled in a small baldie.  Whilst we were getting it in I look over the starboard side and this great white just appeared out of the depths, cruising alongside of the boat and eyeballing me in the boat as some sort of out of reach appetizer.   It disapeared straight back into the depths just as quickly and wasn't sighted again.  It's been on my bucket list to see one in the wild whilst out fishing and whilst a short encounter it was awesome to see.  I'd estimate it to be 2.5-3 mtrs, so no monster, but as it was a 40Deg day a quick dip off the back of the boat was ruled out fairly quickly. 

We didn't bother dropping down in that spot again and moved on.  Not a lot of luck that trip in anycase. 

Just wanted to share.  We see Bronzies almost every cray run, this was no bronzie ! 

As we took my mates boat I was hoping it would have a bit of a chew on the motor as I have seen them do in the media... but it just buggered off.

My first sighting in 10 years of WA fishing.  Do you guys see them often ?
