Hutcho , it is actually a gummy ...i got it a couple of weeks ago , but down in Cronulla / Sydney .
busted the scales but we think it would have gone around 45kg ..on 15 kg tackle ....took a while , but nice fish off the rocks on that line class
I haven't done much land based fishing up here for sharks , not too many spots to get em , but we have hooked a few BIG whalers off the rocks over at cylinder beach on Straddie .
The biggest shark i have hooked up here would have been approx 250 kilo tiger out off Flat rock on an 8 kilo live Mack Tuna
. Damned big gummy you got there then Billo! Did you eat him?
Would have been some fun catching your 'bait' for your big tiger too. Do you spend a lot of your fishing time shark fishing?
Yeh , the gummy's are quite good eating as far as shark standards go .
I don't spend much time anymore fishing for them ...although i still love it . Not many marine creatures have the endurance of a shark .....good long battles !
I used to fish game comps in Sydney chasing tigers and Mako's ....and did quite a bit land based too .
The tiger i fought up here was out on a charter with some lads from the office .
One of them brought up a good macky and i thought DMAN IT ...why not , put a hook in his back and sent him down live !!!!!
We have caught an absolute Sh*$load of small sharks out from Raby Bay ...mostly scalloped hammerheads and whalers ...
i am keen to get out just chasing them in the Bay again though ...no boat anymore , so i rely on anyone else witha boat to be interested too and wouldn't mind another angler ....we haven't really put an effort in yet on the macmauler express ....but i am sure we will one day...need a bit more room JUST to be safe though ( even though we use to chase em in a 12' f/g runabout
mackmauler
do you think i could weigh in, in the comp. ???
if this time i tied the line"heavy gauge wire" to the cat and pulled the shark to the weigh in
"whats the time"
Dose anyone know of any land based shark fishing spots on the southside???
Seaworld has some nice sharks southside and for jeffo try underwater world
snappa you should have lifetime membership for your catch and release, good to see you setting the example
im gunna go and chase grey nurses
I've been wanting to try the jetty in davies park (west end) for a while, anyone know if that would be any good?

Fishing for the thrill, not for the kill
Cheers for the offer Jeffo , see how the weekend unfolds itself ....
I am open to go chasing toothies any time ......just so hard to match the fight a shark puts up 8)
my biggest shark to date is only a 5 foot tiger so i am still yet to get a big one.. should be fun!!! especially on 4 and 8kg 8)
Then we should get out some time soon whilst the Tuna are still about ....makes em a lot easier to find !!!
Just wondering if anyone is going to the Shark Fishing Seminar tonight???
Its being held at the "Stradbroke Room" at the Moreton Bay Trailer Boat Club, at 34 Fairlead Crs, Manly tonight.
