Burke 0 Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 Hi all,Just returned from a trip down to the Lower Yorke Peninsular with the tinny.Launched the boat with an offshore wind which then quickly turned into an onshore breeze..... always the way. Hit spot X, 1 x 45 cm whiting straight up, thought "we're on here". No luck, the others must not have read the script.Fished a couple of other spots, couple of undersize snappper, usual dog sharks / skates, then pulled up the attached. Never seen one before. Any ideas? 30 - 40cm long.Ended up with 3 x whiting and that was about all. Did have fun fighting a large eagle ray (got the sweats up pulling him in) and a 5 foot gummy shark - nasty fighters they are, had me around the anchor rope, berley pot etc.Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kelvin 2,200 Posted January 5, 2013 Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 Yep Catshark speciesHave caught a few here in SA, victoria and also southern NSW. They can be a pest at times, almost as bad as Port Jacksonshttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_swellshark Quote Link to post Share on other sites
