srick 0 Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 my biggest shark was a schoolie i caught off pondie it went 22kg. but no photo so my next best is a hammer of 4.5foot no weight. estimated at around 15kg. but my biggest ever was from the same day, i caught a 6plus footer that i let go. which would of been well over 30kg. i brought it in green as and i sure wasnt gonna try to boat it. http://www.fishyorkepeninsula.com/images/attachments/4OSya89J__100_00341.jpg[/img] Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Guru 0 Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 thats a wicked little hammerhead. what line did you catch it on? did you catch it in the same place? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
srick 0 Posted August 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 got it on heavy braid in a bay on island off ceduna. which the same day? the hammer and schoolie? no. but the hammers were from the same spot two days in a row. we landed 4 in two days and many more lost as we were fishin for snapper at the time. all bar that one in the photo on wire.

fred 1 Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 A hammer head is another fish i would love to catch just for the photo album. Butters reckons he got one at bunnings the other day. i reckon it was a mallet Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Butters Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 biggest soo far.. bronzie around 4ft caught on a salmon fillet on the bottom... caught last summer.. http://www.fishyorkepeninsula.com/images/attachments/aeV6NRl0__bronzie.JPG[/img] http://www.fishyorkepeninsula.com/images/attachments/nAfW7Egi__bronzie1.JPG[/img] Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cal 480 Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 This one took a bait intended for Salmon.Hooked it through the snout, so it didnt bite me off.It went ballistic and some of the runs had to be seen to be believed.One nasty critter.Cheers {SMILIES_PATH}/cool.gif Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bennyboy 0 Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 awesome shark cal, i guess aroun 5 and a half foot?would've been good on salmon gear,My biggest are the same size as butters (same night) we were just using salmon gear but spooled with 25lb mono. They fought pretty well too {SMILIES_PATH}/smiley.gif Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Butters Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 hopefully this season i can manage a couple on the light gear... the surf gear was pretty much stopping the smaller sharks after their first run.. but with lighter stuff might be a bit more of a challenge {SMILIES_PATH}/cool.gif here is a small set of jaws from the above shark... {SMILIES_PATH}/cheesy.gif http://www.fishyorkepeninsula.com/images/attachments/t6IPYLOL__jaws.JPG[/img] Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Butters Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 Nice shark Cal.. would have been a bugger to get out of the waves with the salmon gear... {SMILIES_PATH}/cool.gif Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cal 480 Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 Nice bronzies there guys.In all seriousness, The only rod I would target anything the size of the one and above in my pic from the beach would be, A Sabre 540 or one of the 12/15kilo Live FibresThe rod has got to have grunt to shift them as they like to sit almost ray like , then recharge themselves and go for broke.Lost one at Daleys last year that rubbed me off right at the death, probably around 7 foot and that thing sat doggo 3 or 4 times during the fight then took off on 50 metre runs as strong as its first run.Cheers {SMILIES_PATH}/cool.gif Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Guru 0 Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 So you guys get little sharks that actually peel line from your reels? I don't maybe cus I fish like 50lb for them. But ive seen them caught on 20lb and they don't fight either? p.s.Not saying Cal's shark is small {SMILIES_PATH}/wink.gif Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bennyboy 0 Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 The initial run/take/hook up, and then a good 30mtrs or so before you can turn there heads. Then they'll go easy again until you get them in close, is a 4ft shark small? Either way they're good little fights on light gear for us {SMILIES_PATH}/cheesy.gif Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Butters Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 they will deffinatly take a good run when targeting them on an ABU7000... those things pull about 2kg of drag I also got smoked by a big shark from dalys.. hooked up and watch my entire spool of line go down to the last knot.. 300mts line... in about 1 minute.. i tried everthing to get some line back.. even running out into the water... but the run just got stronger.. :shock:I'll be back for a rematch though... {SMILIES_PATH}/cool.gif Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bennyboy 0 Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 i was even pushing butters further into the water to try and restrain this shark! Mind you though we could see black shadows cruising in shallows hunting salmon under a full moon, and neadless to say butters wasn't all that happy with me :wink: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ospray 1 Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 is a 4ft shark small? He probably is , if his Daddy is 18ft. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Guru 0 Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 Yeah, I think a 4 foot shark is just the right eating size but small when you want a decent fight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Thahn Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 went out off largs after the news onfriday and dealt with the rough weather. Once out there mate got a bit sick and made the long journey back to the ramp to drop him off. Headed back out and got rewarded. i wont mention whi it was (GIJO) but it was bloody rough!!!235kgs and 301cm. Taken on 15kg and fight was about 2 hours once it was secured.Only killed it because it was a potential record and now have a heap of fillets that have been distributed to the extended family. I ended up with about 7 kgs of meat and the rest was taken by mates and relatives. There was no pups in the big female either. http://www.fishyorkepeninsula.com/images/attachments/TnnHZYAa__tom235kg2.JPG[/img] Quote Link to post Share on other sites
