Blacktip 22281


A trip to Blacktip Island, I’d been looking forward to this and to hopefully getting a big shark on the beach during daylight. Kit ready, bait sorted we were on the dock to watch the sunrise...


Me and Paulos we joining Capt. Keen for a 30 minute run out to the island. Capt. Keen was soon into a couple of sharks. Then one of our rods tried to rip from the spike - I’ll let the photos do the talking...


First fish - Blacktip Shark, 5’ 2”. Fight time: 0:10.


An hour or so later - Blacktip Shark, 5’ 4”. Fight time: 0:15.


And this Shark was tagged, number 22281, measured and reported!


And then I hit something really powerful...


Bull Shark, 6’ 7”. Fight time: 0:55. What a way to finish the session!
