Great fishing night at Wanbro

 So a few weeks ago I caught a 1.6 meter spinner shark from a nude beach in Wanbro. I caught it with my 3-7 kilo tailor rod that had 3 kilo line. The Shark weighed in at 11.4 kilos. I think the only reason I got it in, in under 10 minutes was because it did a death role and got itself tangeled in the line so I was pulling it in backwards. We also caught 12 salmon, each weighing in around 1-2 kilo each.

I just have a few questions;

 

1. Are Spinner Sharks  protected? I heard they are not from all the guys who were crowding around me when I caught it. I also saw on wikipedia that they aren't.

2. Why do Spinner Shark they taste so good?

3. Is it normal for a Spinner shark to be caught there?

4. Why was I catching Salmon out of season?

 

Sorry for no pictures. We took a couple with my old mans phone but he dropped it in the water when he was burlying up.

 

I also recommend you check the place out. I clean up every night I go there; Bream, Tailor, Herring, Whiting and ALOT of other fish depending on the time of year. It's off of Grand Ocean Boulevard. Search it on Google maps or something. One other thing I must mention, it is a pain with stingrays, you will without a doubt catch at least 1 stingray there, especially if you are using gangs.

Nah mate.

 Nah mate, I don't fish in the nude. Though you gotta be wary of the old fella's.

It is a great spot, give it a try sometime. I'm gonna head down there tonight though the weather doesn't look promising. Sort of a Southerly to south easterly so it isn't great but who knows, anything could happen. The best weather would be Westerly 15 - 30 knot winds, thats when you clean up the Tailor.

Eeeewwwl perish the thought of a 60+ yo nude beach visiting granny shavin or waxin her snatch especially in the thought it might make it more attractive. I doubt therd be any younger than that down those beaches

 The ray had half its tail

Tue, 2012-01-10 20:03

 The ray had half its tail chopped off already... The barb (It had 2... I was wondering What the hell?) went about 2 centimeters into my arm but it's all good.

Flick it's tail over it's head? Hell yes it did, I don't know how though. It had a massive barb, the biggest I have seen.
