Shark alert after bait hook bent straight
Swimmers are being urged to avoid open or exposed beaches at southeast Queensland or northern NSW over fears of a monster shark.
While there have been no sightings — save for a "great big shadow" described by a local Nipper — authorities believe a great white shark measuring up to 6m long has been lurking off Queensland's Stradbroke Island.
Routine equipment checks off Stradbroke Island's Main Beach found that a shark hook had been bent with such force that it was almost straight. The hook — 13mm thick, 36cm in length and 16.5cm across the gape — is part of a baited drumline system used to catch large sharks near popular swimming beaches.
The shark thought to be lurking off Stradbroke Island may be responsible for these injuries. (Nine News)
