Title: Targetting Spotted Gully Sharks
Post by: Bamboes-Vis on December 11, 2019, 02:18:15 PM

I have only caught about two hands full of these amazing fish.
I am actually amazed that no one has started a topic on them.


Will you guys please share some info on them.
What is the best:
1) Bait
2) traces and hook sizes
3) What conditions is the best for them?
4) What Structure do they prefer?

What I have seen so far is the larger ones like mullet.


My biggest was 20kg on half a mullet in the bricks (night).
then a 13kg one on mackerel head on the sand (day)


About 5 of around 5kg on prawn/chokka in the bricks (Day)

I have caught one on strepie.


The 3 or so smaller ones I have caught, have all been on pink prawn while scratching for blue fish (Day).


I have read somewhere they are more active at night?

Any crab you put out for a Crakcer ha ha ha , very frustrating ..


You catch year round here by us , what o have noticed , they can be full up in summer , when the water cools down a bit ...
We often catch them , when the condisions are not 100 for Kob , and water a bit cleaner than your normal cob water .
