My wife and I together with two of my sons and their girlfriends went to Maps for the Easter llong weekend plus. We tried shark fishing for the first time seriously and had a hell of a time. The eds were scarce, the usual reef fish and I got a small kob. the boys friend joined us and also got a Raggie.We ended up with a tally of 5 Raggies and 1 Dusky landed. 3 snapped off in the shore break, 1 burn off and a number of hits without hook ups. Pleaae bear with me as I'm still trying to workout how to post multiple pictures

Firstly,

Bruce!

Secondly... "tried shark fishing for the first time seriousLy"...

That's an UNBELIEVABLE result for your first serious session... congrats, you are a talented angler to do that first time up!!

Definitly more lucky than talented. My sons have tried on and off before with a few takes but no fish, this time it was right place right time I guess.

Plugger,

I love that place, but have not had much luck with the in-eds there.
