    mackeral

    Been awhile since I have caught one of these - hooked quite a few but pulled hooks and bite offs have gotten in the way. This was on a slow trolled live bait off the Gold Coast this morning. I thought I had hooked a 20+ kg model half and hour earlier - good head shakes and fast runs early in the fight but too stubborn for a mackerel and turned out to be a bull shark about 6 foot long

    Great report Jeremy. Sharks have been a problem on the close in reefs off SC this season.

    Nice one Jeremy!

    The bull sharks have been hanging around there this year, I had one take a deep diver a few weeks back, and another a slow trolled dead bait.

    Cheers
