Shark ventures into Nova Scotia harbour, steals mackerel from fishing lines
LIVERPOOL, N.S. — A peckish shark has been spotted snatching mackerel off people’s hooks on the Liverpool, N.S., waterfront.
Witnesses say the roughly 1.5-metre shark swam under a popular harbour bridge and into the estuary, grabbing mackerel right off their lines, along with their bait.
Lyndon Mooers was fishing Tuesday night when he says he watched the shark grab the mackerel off three or four people’s line.
“Sometimes, he’d take their line and go with your mackerel jig, and take the line and go right off,” Mooers told New Glasgow News.
