Sharks sharing my catch
Anybody losing good fish to "The Tax Collectors" in Moreton Bay???
Lost 5 good fish recently and possibly another 2 earlier in the year. It has got so bad in my fishing area that I will resist fishing for a while until things improve.
Had the same problem back in the mid 60's and 70's.
Lost an estimated 30 pound cod yesterday. Just the head remained.
And they took a few live baits to the boot.
They certainly are around at the moment.
Have Fun Haji-Baba.

Do you use burley?Originally Posted by Haji-Baba
No.
Just live bait caught on the spot and deployed on heavy hand lines and allowed to
sit on the bottom with 12 foot long traces.
Last Monday 16Th. had about 3 runs with no hook up, (very strange) and then one long run from a good cod.
Had him coming to the boat and he gave another very fast run and then nothing. Shark got him 6-8 meters from the boat. Saw one shark (say 2 meters) flash past the stern but I think the fish was actually taken by a much bigger shark
judging by the bite size.
A bit disappointing as the purpose of the outing was to put my younger brother onto a good cod. He never even got a run but at least he had a good look at a decent head.
Have fun Haji-Baba
yup, all over the noosa reefs at the moment. Lost a few good sweetlip to them the time before last and last trip they had a taste for trout
Have had a couple of trips to curtain in the last month and have been smashed by sharks both times.
Never had a shark issue there before in the last decade.
