Brother in law had been seeing all the pics of the fish I had been getting lately and was pretty keen to tag along for a trip.
Headed down to the river about 5pm yesterday afternoon, plenty of bait around so got that sorted farily quick. Headed up towards the cranes where some fish had been hanging around lately.
Found some good shows on the sounder so dropped the anchor. Well we quickly found out that the fish on the sounder were actually sharks around 90-100cm long.... After losing 4 rigs we made a move. Moved around a few times for nothing. Finally got a good hit and brother in law was on, on the light rod as well. After about 45minutes and pulling anchor to chase the fish, we saw briefly what appeared to be a shovel nose shark in the realm of 1.5-2m long....Another 10 minutes later and it had found its way to some structure and we lost it. It was a massive fish and after such a long fight time it still seemed to have plenty left in the tank. Got down close to the backing at least 3 times during the fight.
Made a final move with the tide chaning direction and managed to find the fish.
Got a 102cm jew, followed quite quickly by meter plus threadfin. Missed a good fish then got a smaller threadfin around 89cm. Managed to make it a good trip with some nice fish at the end.
Didn't get any rain at all too!
