Latest nights fishing with Sherbert
Sherbert , myself and Alan went for a fish on friday night, fish were scarce but dickheads on the beach were plentiful.
Sherbs got a nice 550 mm ze onesTailor to start off which tasted great then myself and Alan got some nice bait size ones. Sherbert got a whopper Eagle Ray then it went quiet for a while until I got my first Black Ray of the night, it was 144cm across the wings. The winds went easterly enough to get the balloons out at about 2am but it was quite for a couple of hours until all rods went off at once.
Sherbert got a Black Tip, Alan's fish spat the hooks and I got my fish to within about 70 mtrs of the beach before he realised he was hooked, first run and he headed for Rottnest taking about 3oo mtrs , thats the way it went for the next hour until I eventually got a nice size Tiger to the beach, he dropped the hooks as the boys were trying to gaff him, best result really as he swam away. If you are going to target sharks its a whole lot harder to get them back in the water, probably impossible if you are by yourself and if you are not going to eat them, why kill them.
The Black Rays went 78.3 kgs and 82.8 kgs one on the surf rod and one on a balloon.

Do you actually weigh the rays
or are the weights given in you first post a calculation of weight based on measurements? Just interested as I imagine they wouldn't be very easy to weigh on scales.

Conversion tables
Alan, our club has measurement to weight conversion tables in excel format. With rays we enter the width of the fish and the spreadsheet converts it to a weight.
