That was on Sunday I think - World Around US (With sexy Lisa McCune! #Originally Posted by drawn
) That was an interesting show though... Bull Shark #1, Great White #2....
Some of those guys on there did a few things you wouldn't get me doing! At least not without filling my wetsuit very very quickly!!! #
There was a guy on there from Queensland Uni going fishing for Bull Sharks in the river for study... Check out the websote for the uni, as there may be some info on there maybe???
yeh i saw that aswell, , we have seen bullsharks when we have been skiing with mates out at riverside at karolee
Hey Brissybass
I live in Ipswich & chase the whalers a bit over summer.
Usually launch from kookaburra. best bait is live mullet, boney bream are good too & the humble forkies work too tho not as good i rekon. I usually use 2-3kg braid with 30lb leader & short wire trace. they're the easiest thing to catch. if ya want we could hook up for a fish if ya like.

so how many do u get usually and how big??
right conditions should get 2 or 3 & up to 8 or 10 on a good day. most between 80cm to a metre. the occasional bigger one.

awsome sounds great ,, do u fish in a boat or just of the bank?
i fish from a boat.
i'll most likely be takin my son out for go tomorrow if he wants to go.

Hi,
My brother-in-law and his mate often go out to the junction to catch sharks and have a pretty good success rate. From what I can recall they use live mullet that they catch with a cast net, and use a wire trace. They fish from the bank. His mate has a few sets of very impressive teeth! [smiley=devilish.gif]
