Thread: Sharks on surf beach

Would hate to hear some ones dog getting taken ,that'd be bloody terrible . In the numbers that where there its very possible & they regularly close the beach over summer with Mako's in the surf. They're nasty ,fast & aggressive I wouldn't trust them .

Shark fishing at Whiritoa is fun Hunter NOT . But you should try it .

One day when I can get set back up with a 24KG LBG rig again I would but I would also make damn sure I had an extra person with me for safety reasons (the other half does not count lol).

Play fair Hunter I'm only using 10kg main line on a surf rod & landed 2 .A personal biggest fish for me the 1st one.
The 6 sets of gear I lost on the ones that smoked me don't count either.

Ha ha ha ha that is classic Dundee

Would it help if i told ya that line on my reel you saw the other day is only 8kg (0.35mm) with a 15kg shock leader

Always good when you can hit your PB on 10KG and under mainline, best I ever hooked but never landed was a snapper that took me 15 minutes to get to the rocks and it bit through 80Lb trace with one chomp as it was about to be gaffed to be taken and weighed in at the beach and boat comp and that was on 10kg mainline straylining over shitloads of foul ground.

This one time at the beach this guy was swimming in the ocean yelling "Help! Shark! Help!" I just simply laughed, I knew that shark wasn't going to help him.
