bezz711 Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Hi raiders! Decided to hit my favorite reef recently and it started off slow then decided to send a big flesh bait out this way the pickers would take some time to demolish Well it paid off! Rod went ballistic at first I was thinking snapper probably my biggest by far but soon as it can to the boat I noticed it was a shark! A gummy shark Good fun!

Mike89 Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Nice gummy. Any idea where the best spots to chase these land-based would be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RexSenior Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Well done that's a decent Gummy! I caught a few about a month back and some fellow raiders gave me an awesome tip of freezing pieces for about a month to improve the taste. This worked a treat, the piece I had the other night was so good that I'll be chasing them again on my next trip! Cheers, James. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-G920I using Tapatalk Thanks guys it went about 1.2m And best advise I have for eating is to bleed and gut straight then straight into ice few days in the freezer then enjoy! And for targeting I usually do well on reef so if land based would recommend off rocks in thick reef or near reef as I found these places most productive!

bessell1955 Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Why do you need to freeze them for a few days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NaClH2OK9 Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 best advise I have for eating is to bleed and gut straight away I agree. Bleed instantly. Cut under the throat and back over the side of the boat and hold tight. Followed by a 15 minute wrestle on already stretched arms. I now carry some jumbo zip ties to help tail wrap the Things. I prefer this method over taking the head and tail off while alive or it ends looking like a scene from Carrie.
