This is at the mouth of one of the many river systems on the west coast
of Cape York Australia. Bull Sharks can be found all over Australia
including in fresh water river systems (mothers will travel upstream to
have their pups).
However they are particularly prominent in areas such
as where this was filmed. During the run off (just after the wet season)
large numbers come to feed at the outlets of these river systems. On
this trip we counted seven swimming around the boat (lured in by the
fish we had been catching). In these situations it is almost impossible
to catch a fish as the sharks eat them before you can get them onboard.

I have read reviews about sharks, and the creepy feeling of seeing the fins still stay. But, as I watched brave divers, like what the video has shown, feeding these sharks, I kind of wanting to do it myself. But seeing the fins popping out on the water surface really scares me off. Having shark t-shirts with me calms me a bit.
