great white Posted July 18, 2005 Report Share Posted July 18, 2005 Nice weather, patience , a good supply of groundbait, more patience and a whole heap of luck May just may see a shark nose around Then you will need a good strong hook, that is sharp. on heavy wire trace to a length of heavy nylon as a rubbing leader, all swivals should be top quality and strong Rod: 30 or 50lb class Reel:a good 4/0 or bigger size reel with a good clutch and plenty of good condition line Bait one or two fresh mackeral. keep a scent trail going and hope one of these great fish will come and play. I wish you more luck than I have ever had around here for the sharks, and I have tried hard in the past for them. I know some of our Members have seen them, and a few may have hooked one . But I do not know of any that have landed one on their own boat from Poole. perhaps its time to have another go now the boys are bigger very tight lines Charlie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnasher Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 Is it not better to head for St catherines deep for them instead of Poole? Its Just what I have read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wedger Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 Custom frozen scent trails available from Wedger no need to keep slaughtering mackeral Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newboy Posted July 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 Nah, not in my own boat, it will be a sharking party on Flamer 3 from Weymouth. These were the people I met on the chartered boat last Sunday, nice people, invited me to join them. Flamer 3 is going to source the rigs/terminal tackle. My new friends will lend me a rod and reel. These are fishing mad blokes and woman. They said there's a wrecking trip from Brighton tomorrow if I wanted to tack along. Sadly I have to work.
