Reel' em in Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Hi guys I went and helped a mate yesterday do a few things on his new house and in return he took me for a fishing at the entrance beach, we manage to catch the shark we took a few pics then released it, can anyone help in identifying what kind of shark it was. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackfish Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 (edited) If I had to have a guess. Dusky Whaler, Carcharhinus obscurus Would have been fun off the beach. Edited November 13, 2016 by Blackfish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravinggg Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 (edited) Or possibly a juvenille (young) bull shark. Edited November 13, 2016 by Ravinggg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackfish Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 I recon the snout is to pointy Ravinggg for a Bull Shark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike89 Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Sharks are always an exciting by-catch! Good stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RexSenior Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Great catch mate! I've caught a few sharks here and there but sometimes the juveniles are difficult to ID - my guess would be a weasel shark. Hopefully the link I post below will assist (remember that the pictures are of older average sized sharks). http://www.dpi.nsw.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0007/631384/Identifying-sharks-and-rays.pdf Cheers, James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crossfire63 Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Always plenty of little ones like that around especially down near the actual entrance to the lake. The bigger ones hang around a little further north Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
