Shark Bites Boat As Family Snaps Photo

On the first day of summer weekday shark patrols, the alarm was sounded to get swimmers out of the water at Aldinga's Silver Sands Beach after a huge shark was seen just 100m off shore yesterday.

That's when a man, his son, and a friend were enjoying a "relaxing day in the boat" at Middle Beach, about 40km north of Adelaide, when a 4m Great White Shark launched out of the water and tore into a bait bag attached to their 5.4m fibreglass boat.

Their reaction other than to take a picture - they said, "it was a bit of a shock."

If it were me, I'd find another means of recreation.
