are these legal to be taken now?

someone told me they aren't protected anymore?

 

if so, do they taste any good?

Port jackson sharks have never been protected.There are thousands of the $#@%$#g things.There are only 4 sharks protected in WA,the grey nurse,white pointer,whale shark and the last one is the northern river shark.Don't know much about the last one but have seen the other 3 many many times

they are the worst things

they are the worst things i have ever caught, they dont run when they take baits which means you might go 30 minutes thinking your baits still in the action. And they fight worse than blowies, i prefer to catch blowies as its easier to get ur hooks back.

Apparently they cost a heap for an aquarium though

Grain Terminal

I remember fishing the Kwinana grain terminal a few years back in the summer, and we were catching one pup after the other, it did end up seeming worse than catching blowies! Would have caught about 20 one evening.

These guys are much better looking though. Returned every one.

If we can hit that bullseye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate.
