Well done on the catch and the release, that is the right thing to do.

I was fishing up the North Coast last weekend and also experienced the shad brigade, the shad were between 400-600mm in size. The parks park came, confiscated the fish, and when they left the slaughter continued. Makes one furious.

The shad poaching is relentless and disgust me!! I see this virtually every morning of late and have reported it to the anti-poaching hotline. But these poachers are aggressive and one is just looking for trouble if you confront them. I got another shad of 41 cm this morning and tagged it as well. My three taggings this weeks is sadly a drop in the ocean compared to the amount of shad that was killed this week! A very sad state of affairs!

I once caught a 6.5. My Elf was bitten in two by a Kob. The reason why I say it was a Kob is because we took what was left of the Elf and baited up with it and caught a Kob on the next cast. You win some and you loose some.
