Monday Night At Wisemans

[tide'n'knots]

hi guys , I fished wisemans ferry on monday night, nothing spectacular to report except a couple of undersize soapys a stingray and several catfish. The only exciting thing caught was a 4 ft shark! not sure what type but it looked like a whaler or perhaps a bull shark( i believe they are similar in looks)???as I was trying to figure out how to land it and release it, it chewed through the leader and saved me the trouble!

For a few seconds I thought I had a half decent fish - what a dissapointment, although I guess some people would be happy to catch a shark, not me.

The water is pretty dirty at the moment and to be perfectly honest I really didnt expect to catch much, it was more of a chill out session for me than a serious fish, a decent fish would have been a bonus.

Hey Pete,

The water is too fresh at the moment and the tides maybe a little big.

Did the shark have a stout blunt nose... if so it was a bull. We caught them them in the nets a long time ago and have seen them take ducks in front of WC. Hope the Jewies come on the bite soon.

yeh I imagine it would have been belting out in the daytime as the tides were a fair bit bigger than the night tides.

did the shark have a stout blunt nose? not sure but i think so.

shame about the lack of fish Pete, atleast you caught a few. Probably a bull shark. There have been reports of bull sharks as far as Windsor. Must be plenty of food around.

Hi Pete

Shame you didn't get your jewies, but a bit of excitement with the shark, to be sure!!

Hi Pete,

A shark is always a bit of fun and a good workout on testing your tackle, knots etc.

Mate the jewies have gone quiet over this way lately too.

I caught a couple of hammerheads last year, pesky buggers.

Cheers

I think I will concentrate my jewie efforts to the brooklyn end of the river now until april. Any trips to wiso's between now and april will be aimed at bream and flathead.
