Unfortunately the fish weren't playing ball and we barely got a touch all night. Just as we were packing up one of the bite detectors lit up and it looked like something was mouthing the bait. Turned out to be a little shark, the greedy bugger took a 5/0 with a big chunk of trevally.
I thought maybe it was a juvenile swell shark but the patterns on its skin look different. After a couple of attempts to swim back onto the beach we eventually got it pointed in the right direction and away it went.
When the weather warms up I'll give the soft plastics a go down there, a bloke we chatted to reckons he sees heaps of big flathead in the shallows when he fishes for gars.
