If you fish in Croc Country, expect crocodiles to be nearby.β―β―
Crocodiles are attracted to good fishing spots as much as people are.β―Fish and crabs are an important food source for crocodiles.β―β―
When fishing in Croc Country, reduce your risk of a crocodile attack by:β―
π£ Keeping your distance from the water while fishing π Stay 5 metres back from the waterβs edge and never stand on logs or branches overhanging the water. ππΏ
β Never stand in water to cast off. π« A crocodile can attack even if you are in shallow water for a short time. π
π₯οΈ Keep your arms, legs, and head away from the edge of boats, jetties, or pontoons. π€
π£ Throw cast nets from your boat or a jetty. π₯οΈ
Crocodiles can attack people on the waterβs edge. Standing in or close to the water when cast netting puts you in danger.
π If a crocodile grabs your catch, leave it. π
Move as far away as possible while the crocodile is distracted.
πͺ If your lure gets caught, consider it gone. π΄
Itβs not worth losing your limb or life trying to retrieve it.
