Shark alert after bait hook bent straight!


Swimmers are being urged to avoid open or exposed beaches at southeast Queensland or northern NSW over fears of a monster shark.

There have been no sightings as yet but authorities believe a great white shark measuring up to 6m long has been lurking off Queensland's Stradbroke Island.

 Routine equipment checks off Stradbroke Island's Main Beach found that a shark hook had been bent with such force that it was almost straight.

Swimmers are being warned to take precautions and swim in only patrolled beaches between the flags.
