    'monster' Fish Threatens Darwin Bathers

    in The Library

    Posted

    It turned out to be an estuary cod, or something like that. i was expecting a huge fish or a scene from jaws.

    Yer i thoght it was a 'monster' Fish, fair enough 80cm is big but not a monster.

    Some species of estuary cod can grow to a length of over 1.2m and weigh over 150kg

    in my books its big but not a monster

    Braid Or Mono For Blackfish?

    Posted

    Just wondering what would be better to use??

    My mate trevor is a diehard blackfish fisherman and is quite a good one, well almost because he fished last saturday and was getting down after down but wasnt hooking up so he try and tryed again and the same thing happend so after a good hour or so he checks his hook and the hook has no barb and is as blunt as a ....a... well you get the point, i started laughing my head off!

    Well back to the point yer trevor swears by braid because it floats on top of the water always get a good strike, but i found out that mono floats to (well i think it does?)

    So i was wondering what i should use for blackfish and what are the pros and cons of using braid or mono?

    Cheers, Zac

    Mates,

    Please understand i am definitely not having a go at you here on this site, but I reckon this pic mite involve a more sinsiter story.

    Looking closely at the picture, the shark looks to have been "finned". Its pec fins n tail are gone.

    Surley anyone familiar with the finning trade would be outraged to see evidence of this trade in the US, or any country.

    Anyone unfamiliar with finning, it goes a bit like this:

    Sharks are longlined, their fins cut off whilst still alive and the shark kicked back into the ocean to drown, the trade usually controlled by the mafias of various countries, and condoned by corrupt regimes and governments worlldwide. All this for the fins ending up in you guessed it, Shark Fin Soup.

    For more information you may like to visit www.sharkwater.com or view the DVD by the same name.

    Personally, it is beyond my comprehension that this still occurs any where in the world.

    Mate, i dont think nurse sharks have that pecral fin thingy an i think the tail is laying flat on the ground??
