"Yesterday I saw five bull sharks when I was kayaking near the Old Butter Factory," Taff said.
"There are also lots coming up at the moment, more than I have ever seen. There are also plenty of bream, bass and trevally - I mainly catch and release but I nearly caught a bullshark the other day.
"We found one dead one on the riverbank."
With school holidays about to begin, who knows what impressive footage we will see in the weeks ahead - but watch out if you are going into the water!
