Shark surprise for crab-fisher off Semaphore when great white launches itself at bait

ABC  

An Adelaide boatie recently got more than he bargained for when a great white shark emerged from the water metres from his vessel before disappearing into the deep. Key points: Rob Cremasco was out on the water off Adelaide's Semaphore beach on Wednesday A shark emerged from the water, launching itself at the bait Despite his initial shock, the boatie says it was an "epic" and "once-in-a-lifetime encounter" Rob Cremasco was out crabbing on Wednesday morning with family and friends off Semaphore, along Adelaide's northern coast. Mr Cremasco's wife, Catherine, was filming when the encounter occurred, capturing the shark's emergence from the water — a moment that prompted shock and shrieks of "Oh, my God". Loading Instagram content "Every year, in summertime, you do get that increase in shark sightings," Flinders University marine ecologist Charlie Huveneers said. Professor Huveneers — who confirmed that the shark seen by Mr Cremasco was indeed a great white — said there had been "quite a few" sightings so far this summer, but that was "not completely unusual".
