Elephantfish and Rig Shark Caught Surfcasting at Birdlings Flat
Ian Robertson has sent in this picture of a 15 lb elephantfish he caught while surfcasting at Birdlings Flat on Tuesday 8 November. Many thanks Ian. It looks like now might be a good time to target this species if you are a Canterbury surfcaster. Best baits are pipi, tuatua, crab or crayfish!

The elephant fish was a very good catch but what about this huge rig shark also caught by Ian surfcasting from from the same beach on 10 November 2011. It weighed in at a very impressive 26 lbs. Well done Ian.

Check out this big Thresher Shark also caught by Ian caught at Birdlings Flat.
