Sounds like you're having encounters with Spotted Gulleys, Nothing a bit of heavy kit can't take care of((r(e(ling
Not sure how spotted gully shark fight? I have caught a lot of sharks in Natal though, black tip, zambezi & bronze...
None were to big though, all around the 5 foot range...
What takes me here though is something different.Very gentle bite/pull followed by a slow reel constant run (Always the same) Once you set the hook all hell breaks loose with big bumps and head shakes, short run followed by more head shakes and a jerky med speed run, once the drag is tightened all the gloves come off... Chaos! If you manage to gently pull it/her in, as soon as it/she gets as close as the white waters it's Game over! (I say her/she as only a female can be so cunning to lead you on like this!)
The fish simply peels the line out and forces you to make the next move,,, I tighten my drag when I can see through whats left of my line... pffft!
If it helps at all, when on the last run it pulls a very constant speed/force, almost like a big diamond ray but much much faster.. I'm really keen to learn what it is!
If I wss a betting man, I would go with a 6 foot black steenbras with twin volvo penta's fitted... Cant wait for someone to prove me wrong... Until then, They are Black's on steroids! That's how it is!
