Submitted by Kallan C on Sun, 2009-01-18 11:36
Hey all just joined up to the site i have been reading the reports for a while now and id thought id post my latest trip.Went to the beach just north of Hillary's last night.Got there just as the sun went down and left about 1am.Had a few decent bites and ended up getting a fairly big shovelnose.when i got home it measured 5 foot seven and sure put up a decent fight.The people fishing a bit down from us got a few tailor and stingrays.

yeah they are pretty dam tasty!! good fish...horse... probably the 2nd biggest one ive seen.
Would suggest only keeping ones these size tho, as the small ones have stuff all meat on them, and it generally quite chewy.
