When you get sharked....

[aussiefool]

Was just looking at a post where someone's Spanish got sharked and I was wondering what you do with the rest of the fish? Do keep what is left or do you toss that is left back? why do you do what you do?

I have never been sharked and was wondering what everyone dose

I'd use the rest as burley

me personally...i prefer to keep whats left and use it as strip bait...(depending on how much is left mind you)...while i cut up whats left...Mr Benno1 shifts us along to another spot where we (hope) the men in grey suits havnt set up residence
i do this because i dont want to waste whats left...and have found that fresh bait is best...wins hands down.

you have to be careful, as whatever is left has to be legal size.

Have been sharked many times and if there is enough shoulder of the fish left you might as well enjoy whats left of the spoils

Is that for real?? whats the good of throwing back a dead fish??
I often put a big hook in whats left and throw it over the side as if your on a good bite and a shark starts harssing you he will often bugger off if you get a hook into him

That's for real even if the fish is half dead, fisheries will show you no mercy.

Man the fisheries must either be nazi's where you guys live or they are in need of some revenue thats just ridiculously harsh!!

yep thats right, whatever's left must be legal length, but I just cut it up for strip baits, no sense letting good fish go to waste, even if you can't keep it.

i would take whats left of the fish myself if its leagal, otherwise use it for bait!

In the case of the fish in my avatar and generally all other cases, if there is enough meat on what you got back for a feed, keep it. If you got sharked and chuck back the leftovers all you are doing is giving them the rest.

Keep it. If you toss it back you're only feeding the sharks and keeping them on the bite. Either keep what you can, or strip bait it.

[BREAMBOSS01]

yeah id keep it but thats not nice of them to have the rest be legal size or you get in trouble!!!! why give it to the sharks they got the rest of it !!
