Mine?My wife told me Great whites were spotted,stay away from Muizenburg!

I'm pumping worm,waist deep in water @ Muizenburg,and all of a sudden there's something freaking large swimming around me on the ocean floor.So,I Freeze and think 'Why didn't I listen to my wife'?

After my my heart attack subsided ,I realized it was the sun that created a shadow of my Tube(Used for worm/Prawn) on the ocean bottom that simulated something that looked like a shark,hahaha!

Jeez, I would have crapped myself an island to stand on!

The human mind is a wonderful thing, even when it decides to play tricks on you.

Fished uilenkraals one evening and decided to wade a bit further,water was fairly shallow and only gently came rolling in.after wading a good couple of meters,heaven alone knows where that sudden surge of water came from and i instantly went from being knee deep to just below the top of my wader.But i thought what the hell,im going to lay lekker diep now.While i position myself and time the breakers to make my cast,i can already see that 15kg steamer thats going to fall for my juicy prawn kebaab.My sinker just took flight,something tells me to shine my headlamp down on the water in front of me and all i could see was a sillouet of mr.sharky cruising in front of me.i stood dead still for a split second,engaged my reel and thought. . . 'break' gees dont ask me how i managed to get out of chest deep water so quick.
i vowed 'never' to wade gansbaai's waters again.

Got to the shore,water in my wader's boots my brother inlaw rolling in the sand from laughter,me out of breath it was only when i told him what i saw,only then the laughter stopped.
No more gansbaai wading for me!
