More sharks sighted in Lake Macquarie

SHARK sightings continue to occur in Lake Macquarie, providing thrills and stoking fear among lake users.Several photos were taken of hammerhead sharks at the lake's southern end over the Easter long weekend.Glenn Wilson, of Floraville, photographed a three-metre hammerhead from the fly-bridge of a cruiser near Summerland Point on Good Friday."We saw it 200 metres from the boat, we cruised in and it came straight up to the boat," Mr Wilson said."It was looking for a feed. I'd say it was pretty hungry."If I had my game-fishing gear, I would have caught it."It was the first time he had seen a shark in the lake, despite cruising almost every weekend."I've been a bit sceptical about sharks in the lake, but they're out there," he said."People need to know about it. People were water-skiing within a couple of hundred metres of it."Sooner or later, someone will get taken."Lake Macquarie Yacht Charters owner Michael Paull said he and his family sighted two hammerhead sharks on the south side of Pulbah Island over the weekend."I was surprised they were out among so many boats," Mr Paull said.
