Those bullsharks are everywhere in the bay. You won't see them in that brown muddy water. Just don't fall off...

Pt Halloran is a good spot but like Thompsons, there is also a patch of submered rocks that you want to avoid. Best to go there and ask one of the locals to point out the hazards.

a few months back a windsurfer reported a breaching bull shark half way over to coochie at pt halloran. splat man is right though, they are everywhere and if you avoid kiting at dusk/dawn and after heavy rainfall around rivers you'll be sweet.
