A COUPLE of weeks ago I brought my boat Actionette up from Bobbin Head Marina and a blacktip shark similar to the one shown in your picture ('Mullet on fast food menu for lake shark', Lakes Mail, March 15) followed me up the Swansea channel.

I was told it was a blacktip reef shark.
This was concurred at Wangi Wangi RSL Fishing Club.
My boat is moored at Bonnells Bay so this may be the same shark.
As you may be aware, we have a very good diversity of fish and also sharks in the lake.
I have noticed a lot of hammerhead sharks at our respective power stations, and so long as there is lots of mullet around everyone will be happy.
Thankyou for a great paper.

REGARDING your article ('Mullet on fast food menu for lake shark', Lakes Mail, March 15), I windsurf in this part of the lake and have had several encounters with sharks in the past two seasons.
One was so close I could have touched its fin and it was longer than my board which is two-and-a-half metres long.
The last Christmas passed, I saw four which I believed were bull sharks, in just 30 minutes.
One was only 50 metres off the shore at Silverwater.
