It's not only people who need to be saved when in trouble on the waterways - sharks can get themselves in a spot of bother too. Marine Rescue NSW Botany Port Hacking volunteers were on hand to help a Wobbegong shark that became tangled in fishing gear on Monday at Hungry Point, Cronulla. State training manager Brad Whittaker and regional training manager for the south, Stuart Massey, were going about their duties at about 1pm on their jet skis on Port Hacking near the headquarters where they spotted the critter thrashing about in the shallows. It had been hooked to a line, sinker and float. The shark was cut free and released. Wobbegongs are usually not aggressive but do have sharp teeth.
