Marine aficionado Sean Lange who runs the news site The Sardine News told TimesLIVE there was a frenzy of marine activity about 100 metres off the shoreline as scores of the silver fish were spotted. 'There were three boats who netted in extremely dangerous conditions as the waves were about 5m high at one time. One of the boats got their net caught in their propeller and had to be rescued by the other boats. 'When they eventually brought the nets to shore, there were lots of sharks — 17 in one net. The sharks — bronze whalers or copper sharks — were angry at being disturbed as the crew attempted to get them safely back into the water,' said Lange.
