What is it?

Post by ango » Sat May 22, 2021 3:55 pm

Finally some decent weather and no other commitments so I went out from Lakes this morning. It was cold! the icy road warning was going off as I drove through heavy frost on the way down. The plan was to try inshore, then go wide and have a crack at the pinkies on the reefs. I did not make it to the reefs, there were some good size flathead about so I stayed inshore. I also caught a mystery fish, some kind of saw shark, I thought these were only found up north, anyone know what it is?
Cheers.

Common sword shark. Lots of them in Bass Strait. Nice flatty too. Sword shark almost the same as gummy to eat
