Bull Shark Caught 9 Miles Inland!
Tuesday, January 5th, 2010
James Saunders, 22, caught this 9 ft bull shark under a bridge on December 27… more than 9 miles inland!
For those people unfamiliar with the area, Eenie Creek Bridge is more than 9 miles from the mouth of the Noosa River in Queensland, Australia.
And it is not a wide creek at that point, only about 15 ft wide and 9 ft deep.
To get so far inland the shark had to swim across the Noosa bar, past the Noosa River caravan park, up Weyba Creek to Lake Weyba, then into Eenie Creek.
I wouldn’t go tubin’ in there if I were you.

I live there… and this story is even better than it sounds. This creek is mostly fresh water and the entrance to it would be less than a foot deep and a few meters wide. Not to mention that the Lake that it connects to is very hard to access and 2ft or shallower most of the time e.g. I can’t get my tinny in there. I also work on the Noosa river, I see people (children) swimming in the river every day, a good 20 meters from the shore, so any PETA fuckers, please think twice about posting some shit about the sharks feelings.
Who was in the water first- the shark or the people. If you don’t want to get eaten by a shark don’t go in the water.
This is crazy how far these sharks come up rivers it is unreal, people need to be careful out there.
Anna how about I go around shooting people. You better stay inside, I was here first…
Hey Anonymous person picking on Anna! Sharks are just doing what they know for survival. She’s damn right. Humans getting attacked is ’cause we’re in their turf, essentially.
You wanna go walking around shooting people, that’s an entirely different story. You’d be doing it just to piss people off.
i hope someones gets bittin so up yours uto all u haters out there
