"First one was approximately 50 crates and then second one 30 crates. The third one they missed and one of the nettings they had , account of 21 sharks in the net of which they successfully released the sharks." 


Nets are being filled with sardines in Port Edward on the south coast this morning - the first sighting of the year.

"The surf is around about two and a half meters. It's very difficult conditions for the guys, but absolutely spectacular weather for May, and a perfect place for you to go and view. 


"I'd suggest if you can get down to the Port Edward area and further North." 


Harrison says there's  going to be a lot of activity and very, very good sightings. People are even taking photographs of the sharks breaching with their cameras. That's the place to be.
