Going Sharking

[myangle]

Tailorboy, I reckon If you ballooned around the mouth of Norman creek there on the out going tide you'd be set. And if you want good bait I go to the mouth of breakfast creek with a castnet. Don't be afrain to use the bream either, boney bream are great but they arn't tough enough.

Hope you get one (or a few), I'll hit the sharks soon aswell.

Cheers.

Can you explain how ballooning works?

Hey tailor!!! If your hellbent on releaseing the sharks just cut em loose, the hook will eventually fall out at some stage

i dont know how quick they "fall out" , i have caught a few sharks that had upto 5 hooks in there mouth and they looked old . if you want to release them use a 10/0 or bigger so there is a better chance off hooking it in the corner off his mouth and not his gut , i zip tie my hook to the bait and have not had any sharks swallow my hook yet . and for those that want to keep a shark for a feed , watch your fingers even after they are dead , there nerves will still let them bite and kick while you are cutting them hours later . lol i have nearly been biten by a dead shark .
for taste you do the fins as stated above than soak over night in milk for best results if you dont want to soak in milk atleast leave it in the fridge over night and that will remove any amonia taste .
