u will find these from time to time in netted chocca. When the nets are raised the small fish that are bycatch are forced into the tubes from the pressure of all the squid and are not picked up when sorting takes place.

Hiya guys,

Its quite common Albatross posted the same thing about two or three years back. Some cleaver Sealiner didi the ID.

I'm fishing and on the cell phone, so do a search under posts from Albatross or me and you will find the thread and the answer.

Wish us tight lines please!

Hiya Enigma,

Oh boy...tuff times in PE at the moment! Fishing with Tucker where we drove past the last houses at BWB...trekked through the bush to the beach. Found the perfect hole and put in the RIGHT baits...nothing!

Tide is dropping so next casts will go right over the bank...so lets see?

Horrid currents at the moment...tight drags! LoL

 

[Enigma]

Spoke to Simon, says he's been dropping bait with the surf ski 2-4 times a week at BWB, still nothing

But if you lucky tonight, 1 x Diamond to swim and a Zambi to kick off December

 

[kopstamp]

[Trophy]

Does a sandshark count?

Well he is out as bait at lease...please King Neptune!
