MACLEAY ISLAND - SHARKS + MIXED BAG

[mickstar001]

Went out earling Thurday morning to get to Potts Pt Macleay Island at 5am. First hour was full on - first fish after five minutes i thought was a massive knobby, to find out after 15 mins of fighting it was a 1 1/2 metre bull shark - Decided this one should go back as it was 1/3 the size of me boat! Got onto 3 just undersize squire, a catfish, a sole (i think) and later on in the morning was catching 20cm squid with squid - wierd! Managed two keepers - shovelnosed shark i think and a bull. Put the pots in only for one of them to get raided, and the others with no success. Those big sharks surely go hard!! All were caught on ganged hooks with whole pilchards. Was a beautiful day on the water!

Well done mickstar, Macleay fishes well at times , especially right on the point, if thats where you were mate.

At least you have flake for dinner.

Well done.
