Here's a fish i caught ealier this year in Fog Bay in 6mtrs of water on a cut squid bait, guesstimate about 4.5 kg.I have caught larger specimens on hardbody's and storm sp's,my pb is around 9kg but i have seen photo's of fish caught elsewhere in the 12-14 kg range!

G'day guys!
Great looking fish there, well done!
What sort of a light do you use for the squid (fluorescent, spotty)?
Cheers!

gear, a squid light is at the top. I made 1 using some lead, croc clips,a master food jar (little jar sits better in the water) some poly (flotation) a blinker set out of a car & a 20 watt bulb. Hook your croc clips , run lead through the poly & through the top of jar hook wires to the blinker set put bulb in make it waterproof,easy.

There an awesome fish just got back a few days back from townsville and cairns and up north more targeting these fish caught over 40 fingermark over the 70cm size and biggest was 92cm dont know the weight but im sure it would be up there.
they are like any other fish, eg... can be long & slender being less weight.
or solid & a bit shorter. mine 98cm-11kg, 8kg-80cm, 91-93cm-7-9kg.
just depend's on how good they eat.

Wow great fish guys! Looks like a successful trip
Mozza I tussled a sandshark at a place south of Kosi bay for 4 hours a couple of years back before the knots parted.......they can pull something fierce! My old man reckoned it never knew it was hooked.....absolute beast of a fish.
Top report.........I am turning many shades of green!

I'm yet to try the whole 'night time' thing for Fingermark. I have always fished and caught them at first light. But I am keen to try this year. I might even give this Saturday night a go. What do you guys prefer in terms of tide?
