Popular Post JDP Posted January 4, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 4, 2023 As JonC so rightly pointed out, my last post was in the wrong category and I deeply apologise for misleading those who were offended. In my haste to post my first catch on the first day I accidentally posted the catches in the catch report section. If only I had of scrolled down that bit further I may of noticed a shore catch and not simply the catch report section which must be for anything but shore obviously. Wanting to correct this I headed down the beach this evening in the pouring rain and strong wind in the hope of catching another shark for the brother of the other kid to pull in. The swell was pushing right up against the cliff so I did all the casting as timing between the waves was tricky. First bait out was a hefty piece of tuna, which was picked up within 1 minute of being out there. The shark took the bait and started swimming in towards the shore, when I pulled some line in and caught up to it it then turned to head for the horizon. The young fella was soon leaning back putting pressure on what ever it was but unfortunately some 20 mins later the fish was lost in the shore break. Two more hours and not a bite so headed home cold and wet. So here's the thing, this isn't actually a catch report as we didn't catch it, so again Im most likely in another wrong section and most likely going to cause a great deal of stress to many people. I could try and draw a picture of a shark that I think it could of been but if any of you have seen the movie The Meg, well try to imagine that from a beach in tsunami sized waves and a handsome rugged fella handing his rod over to his offsider when I head of for a bigger knife riding a surfboard.

Popular Post Odyssey Posted January 4, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 4, 2023 I heard that there was a section for posting about blanks but @Andy135 closed it down as he was the only one posting in it and everyone was too busy reading about the fish that @mike farrants @Saintly Fish @JonC and yourself were catching that he felt too left out and closed…. 😉 Andy135, GPSguru, Saintly Fish and 4 others 2 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDP Posted January 7, 2023 Author Share Posted January 7, 2023 While in the right section, fished tonight for just two bream that managed to get hooked on 10/0 shark rigs. We did have two decent fish on for a few seconds but didn't stay connected. My mates rod pulled from the holder which I just managed to get hold of as the top half reached an incoming wave.
