Bull shark fishing at the moment with live catfish

that seems pretty overkill for the river sharks....

are you sure your trace was bitten through and not some other explanation? i.e nylon wore away at a point leading to corrosion and a weak spot?

i've caught sharks up to 2m on 100lb trace and 7/0's with no problem, 16/0's are too big for most of the sharks you'll get in the river in my opinion.

also for bait try and get yourself some blue mackerel from the seafood store, i had great luck on it and if it doesnt get you a shark it may just as easily get you a pike eel which is also great shark bait :)

fair enough but we were sure that it was a shark that got through out trace whether it be from its teeth or being wrapped around it sbody as we can see the bitteing marks and scratch marks all up the trace.

I find using the 16/0's and big baits it stops the eels from getting hooked and likens the chance of a bully

cheers
