This weekends shark fishing efforts
Submitted by Chris fish on Sun, 2012-12-23 21:23
Spent most of this weekend chasing sharks with mixed results. Sat night we got to our spot just after lunch paddled out baits and sat back and waited, first rod went off just after dark and dropped the bait before coming back and a knot failing. The next bait didn't get touched till 3am with something insane taking line at a crazy speed against full drag before biting through 600lb 49 strand wire!!!
Todays effort was mostly because we where bored so out we went again and not long after arriving we have 2 baits 3-500m out. Hour later the 40lb light gear goes off and after an hour fight we got this nice 2.3m bronzie up, few quick photo and he was on his way again.

Trinidad 30A with 550m of 40lb mono and braid on a custom 10ft 6-15kg rod, business end was 100lb 10m wind on leader to 2m of 250lb 49 strand wire and a single 11/0 hook. This outfit is still capable of 3m sharks just hard to control them like the usual 24kg I use for larger ones.
