Hi All,
oh yes - that is the end of blue shark season. At least for me. We blanked today despite the perfect conditions (well, the drift was crap but still tide carried the slick long way out). Shoals of large whiting though.

that's still a very respectable result Tommy, at least you didn't have to go to bed hungry and the sharking this year wasn't too bad at all for you, can't say that for myself though

Thanks Martin,
I caught more sharks this year than last year but frankly their size was below my expectations. Oh well, next year will be better...
