    Hi,

    This has just hit the news.

    Shark Attacks Kills Person at Auckland's Muriwai... | Stuff.co.nz

    This beach is close to Auckland and a very popular fishing spot for surf casting and kontiki operators - both require you to walk into the water at times.

    I have caught a few sharks there since Nov, all Bronzies less than 1.2m, one was foul hooked in a pectoral fin.

    It will be interesting to see what species is responsible for this and how many folks are fishing this weekend.
