Shark ID Please
Submitted by DTrain on Wed, 2012-10-31 10:51
I caught this shark a week ago and was wondering what kind it is. It had some faint black tips on its fins so was thinking mabye a black tip reef shark.
It was off Mindarie in about 25 meters of water.
I put him back because my freezer is already full of fish.

Keepers
Any shark that you want to keep its very important to clean them asap because the longer the guts stays in the more ammonia taste you are going to get. Don't worry about cutting the fins off because they give you something to hang on to.

Yeah, I'd say a bronzy, or related whaler species. They are very good eating up to 6ft. And I agree, the. Small hammers are even sweeter! Btw- small makos are also very good on the tooth!

getting the bottom line final answer from a bunch of blokes that use false names and put smiley faces at the end of paragraphs is not the best place in the world to get the information you seek.
