I would love to say great vid, but I have to ask myself is baiting wild creatures really in their best interests. Here is South Africa it is illegal to set dead animals to attract lions and other apex predators to a carcass just to impress the tourists. There are good treasons for this. Whilst many will hark on how these dives are for the sharks benefit I fail to see how the sharks benifit from chewing on a stainless steel washing machine drum filled with dead fish.
There are a number of places where one can see free swimming unbaited sharks (not always Tigers) including Aliwal, Protes Banks and The Pinnacles in Mozambique amoungst others.
As shark numbers decline this method may become more attractive, but once local (commercial) fisherman find out that these large creatures come readily and regulaly to an area they drop baited hooks and the tigers are gone forever, as recently happened on teh Aliwal Shoal where a number of large tigers were taken in this same scenario.
