styla 673 Posted June 2, 2021 Report Share Posted June 2, 2021 Had a brief encounter with a fish on a live salmon troutie, fishing the coorong. At first i thought it was a Mullie ,but it was just steady weight ,when it swam off slowly. Then it accelarated with a nice run , then spat the hook. At no stage was there any headshakes, on examining the bait i could not see any teeth marks. So im stumped at what it might of been, any ideas fellow Strike Hookers?

Wert 443 Posted June 2, 2021 Report Share Posted June 2, 2021 No tail beats, head shakes or tooth marks in the bait? Sounds very flat, black and flappy to me so I'm going with ray of some kind. TENNANT, Plectropomus and doobie 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kelvin 2,021 Posted June 3, 2021 Report Share Posted June 3, 2021 Sounds like a ray I've caught a few eagle rays in the coorong, although on pilchards not livebait Tinker 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tinker 1,645 Posted June 3, 2021 Report Share Posted June 3, 2021 Might have been a big Port Jackson shark.Caught a few off the stones at Outer Harbour and they do the same as you describe. Sent from my SM-J120ZN using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites
