Gold Coast Bull Sharks

[bondy99]

I've eaten bullsharks many a time as long as they are less than 4foot, less mercury in their system. 3 to 4 foot is good, make sure you sharpen your knife many times when you fillet these buggers. Knifes get blunt very quickly. Deep fry in beer batter. Peter

One thing that has been overlooked. Circle hooks are you friend.

I agree dave, smaller sharks up to 80kg hook very nicely with cirles. but with the larger fish, j pattern are more of an option IMO, unless the circle trails the bait and you can foul hook it. very hard to make the gape exposed adequately when a circle hook is applied to a larger bait.

Hi cuzza never used a j hook, then again never hooked a noah bigger than 20kg i only fish the bay in my tinnie so i try to target the under 4ft noah's. They taste the best.

hope e dencraft don't come across sharks that big, would be interesting to watch Who's gunna get the hook out.
