Dana Skunk and South African Sharks

Here's so more: During WWII, both the North and South piers were closed. But that didn't stop dedicated shark fisherman Fred Bennet, from fishing at night next to the piers. Somehow he persuded another young angler, Alby Upton, into paddling his "paddle-ski" out with Fred's whale-baited line in hand. Alby surf launched in pitch dark shark-infested-waters, a quarter mile off shore to drop the bait. Which was instantly hit. Then, Alby would use a torch light to get him back to the beach. The photo below shows how busy Alby was one night in 1942. Fred caught 6 grey sharks and one blue pointer. This was the scene the following morning.
