i have not posted for a while so i thought i would put up a report on the last few weeks .
schultz canal last week and the week before : there has been lots off prawns in schultz atm greezies and a few tigers , we got just under half a kg off greezies and sat under the bridge using them for bait , got a lot off bream between 20-35cm and a 54cm gold spot cod . last week we got a lot of bream same as the week before and a 90cm bully under the bridge on a baloon i also got a 55cm flathead in the cast net with the prawns .
yesterday : i headed out with my unkle (dave) in his boat (3.75m), we went out the front ( just out from the green zone) to test out our new shark reels ( tyrnos 30 ) and i have to say they work well , really well . first up dave gets hit on his bonito and the 50lb braid is screaming off his reel ( drag on full lock ) for a good 2 minute run before it slowed and turned around , the battle lasted for about 15-20mins before it emerged and the first thing we saw was its huge dorsal fin and tail sticking out off the water thats when i realised it was a hammer head , a 2.5m hammer head .
we managed to get a rough messurement and tag him boatside , i tried getting the hook out for a while with no luck and after it nearly bit me(it eye butted me ) i decided to cut the hook since it was in the corner off his mouth and he swam off in good health . dave was wrapped , i would be to if my first shark was a 2.5m hammer head .
after that all we had left for bait were a few 7-8inch mullet so out they went . dave put out a 8lb line to try for some better sized bait and got hit a little while later which ended up with him almost getting spooled twice , it ran towards nudgee then turned and headed for bribie while it was on its way from nudgee to bribie when the shark line starts screaming again , i grabed it set the hook and off i go , about 5 mins later another hammer comes to the surface , it was only a baby but my first hammer head it was also a male and he went 1150mm , dave got bitten off while i was pulling in the hammer .
it was a great morning out the front pretty much glassed out till 11ish and a few pb's , it doesnt get much better than that .
the pics are a bit crappy but we only had the phone camera to use and i can not get them up right so heres the links to the pics .if anybody can get the pics up properly feel free .cheers nico
in the last few weeks we have got them in the pine , schultz seems to have a lot off pups under 1m and the hammers where out the front off the pine so there are a few around , the brissie river has produced a few bullies latly aswell from other reports .
) and i have to say they work well , really well . first up dave gets hit on his bonito and the 50lb braid is screaming off his reel ( drag on full lock ) for a good 2 minute run before it slowed and turned around , the battle lasted for about 15-20mins before it emerged and the first thing we saw was its huge dorsal fin and tail sticking out off the water
thats when i realised it was a hammer head , a 2.5m hammer head .
