not sure on small boats but i could set you on the right set up for
BIG SHARKS and 4 wheel drives on fraser island
"whats the time"
why drag them on board? cut em loose and let them go! ???
Im guessing your a tag n release man , hey each to their own, if i fight a 400kg tiger shark for 6 hours there's no way im letting it go.We dont kill all fish only selected ones.
Runamuk, it must take a while to eat all of that, you better start watching your mercury intake as it is pretty high in big fish.

yeah you bet im a t&R fisho! its the way of the future wether people likeit or not! personally i wouldnt waste my time fighting a tiger for 6 hours!
what do you do with all the meat once its dead? it couldnt possibly be much good for eating! or is it just so you can hang it?
jeff i know the big sharks that are brought in at the gloden lure are just dumped at sea after weighed and samples are taken >
and thats from a gamefinshing club >
I agree, what the hell do you do with a 400kg tiger, the mercury levels would be off the chart as stated. Tag and release is the only way to go, some fisho's still treat sharks like trophy's, it's a ******* joke. I am sure that 99% of all the crew here agree.
Hey, verythirstyman and others that have bagged this topic, if you dont have anything good to say dont say it at all,there are plenty of boats off sydney that fish for sharks on a regular basis and most are tagged and released but there are some that are not.Everyone has there way of fishing and just because you dont like it you have to bag it.Ive been fishing for sharks for a long time and i dont go around bagging people that fish T/R. I have also seen plenty of dead marlin floating on the surface that have been tagged that day,it dosent look good.
i take a piccy and cut loose i would be happy with that

If you have been fishing for years for sharks, what do you want us for, surely you have learnt something over all those years, on boat set up?
The ultimate challenge is to get them onboard.

Guys, don't wanna seem like a winging prick, but seriously, give this guy a break. I know that a hell of a lot of you don't agree with what he is doing (i don't agree either), but that doesn't mean that you have to make a mockery of him. The reason i like this site so much is that MOST of the time, people are really helpful with questions that are being posted, no matter how stupid it may seem!
The way i see it, is if this guy wants to take the effort to try and bring a big shark on board, and as long as it's not illegal, then all the best to him. Again, i certainly wouldn't do it, but that's my personal decision, and it's this blokes personal decision to do what he's doing.
It jsut sometimes seems to me, that unless you fit in to what the rest of everyone out there is doing, then you are treated like shit!
Again, not saying i agree, but seriously guys, each to their own!
Sorry for the winge!

It'd be a pretty boring and predictable world if we all did the right thing or what everybody else expected of them wouldn't it? On the other hand just because something is not illegal doesn't make it right either. It depends upon what YOU see when you look in the mirror doesn't it? I'm certainly not going to be casting stones (a bit biblical but don't judge me on that)
Any fishing is good fishing(should probably say Any fishing is...probably going to be illegal soon)
Well thats what you get for entering an open public forum...Originally Posted by runamuk
If you don't like the fact that someone else might not like your way of doing things you will have to lump it.
If you keep the shark to put most of it to good use thats great and you should go hard at it.
But if you take a pic of a dead shark hanging off a bar and then dump it, then I don't think much of that.
It would be a waste of a great creature.
I wish you the best of fishing in whatever your endevour.
Cheers Kev
