queensland FTP Sharking 20th March

[Nickers]

Tomca took me to his favourite sharking spot last night. First thing to do was catch a catfish. Tom caught a small cattie and I caught a bigger one:P

We put the catfish onto the shark rods and in they went.

I was snoozing in the back of the truck and I woke up to a ratcheting sound and Tom told me to grab it and pull it in. I had a girl moment and panicked a bit and the shark let go ( probably frightened by my screaming). I pulled in my catfish and he was still alive and threw him out again.

A few minutes later Tom was onto a big one and as he pulled it in, there was a big splash, then the line went slack and the wire was bitten through. That catfish was not so lucky. He was all chewed up.

We ended up not catching 3 sharks. Might go back tonight for revenge, with a bottle of Chardy to calm my nerves :woohoo:

Well done Tomca never go fishing without your Knickers.

well in the truck she is probably safe, if she is on a kayak though I wouldn't count on a shark NOT jumping out and biting your leg off

Good luck!

we used to play and catch little 1 meter sharks over Morton at the big sand hills and days gutter. when we where kids aged from 7 to 13 and only had a landing net and would go up to 1 meter of water chasing them or anything that moved . we never got bitten .and we did catch some that where over a meter.they would flick about etc a lot but where more interested in trying to get away from us not bite us.

I'm was scared of the sharks getting me from the boat ramp... there's not way i'm going in a kayak where there is sharks!!! Tom did mention he wants to name his kayak after the boat in JAWS!!

Do Pike Eels jump in yer boat?

[tomca]

We are sharking land based. I wouldn't make her first yak fish be a pixxed off whaler.

I have had a near miss with a hairtail in my boat, it bit through the fuel line. And while defending my testicles i had a large grinner bite my hand in the yak once.

i would defend the testies first too
