Ian with a good size rig shark from the surf at Birdlings Flat. |
Ian Robertson has caught another good fish while surfcasting at Birdlings Flat on 17 October 2011. This time a rig shark - his second for the season. This species of shark are very good eating. Thanks Ian for sending us the picture.
Rig shark can be hard to catch at times. Crab and crayfish make the best bait together with tuatua. The best time to fish for them is at the end of a southerly blow as the water is clearing.
