Yeah great lil video nbdshroom, I'm trying to see where in Pittwater you were...any hints?

Thanks Eastwood, we wanted to know if you could eat them, we were looking it up but couldnt find anything

Just thought I'd put together a report on my experience tonight... Went in at M1 (old F3) ramp around 4.30pm and headed to Juno. Parked up there for a while with 2 shovel nose rays caught but nothing else. Moved out to Lion Is for the first time and fished a drift from the back of the island, on the incoming tide, across to the middle almost to Flint & Steel...big drift but we had fun. 3 x flattys to 45cm in 40 min straight in the ice box- on prawns and pilly tails. First one caught by friends daughter first time out fishing- she was stoked! 2 x shovel nose rays- this time even bigger 1 x baby flounder 1 x slimey for some fresh bait then the other highlight- throw some fresh slimey on the hooks, straight away, mates reel screamed for 3 or 4 seconds, then nothing...not even 15 seconds later my reel started screaming. He pulled up his line to see no hook while i battled with this thing! I was using heavier leader on a paternoster rig. In and out the line went, with some really big head shakes in between, thinking i have the catch of a lifetime. Eventually got it to the boat- a Bull Shark- approx 1.2-3m long. Not knowing what to do with it, I grabbed my line to lift it a little to cut it loose, but I must have place the main line near his mouth while he thrashed, gone... Short drifted the same drift again but for nothing- right on high tide by now. Ventured back in for drift along Juno again for 2 small flattys while I cleaned the other 3. Great night out, for a lot of fun, with only a few keepers...will go out a little further next time as I have a taste for bit deeper water and bigger fish.

Thanks Jimbu, will be more aware next time, but it seem soreal. My mate hair was already a afro so it didnt do much for him Overdraft- was a weird experience.

No there was no lightning hitting the water- it was mainly sheet and bolts over the city and down south, but we were thinking that something was building around us overhead though nothing on BOM. It was a very humid night

I was using mono in near dead calm conditions, nearing end of run out

I have a question regarding a strange buzzing sound coming from our rods and/or line. We were out in the middle of the bay on Friday night, storms all around on the horizon- nothin overhead, when a friend said he heard buzzing. First we thought he was just tired, but then i could also here it coming off the tip of my 6ft 4-8kg rod. I have searched here looking for an explanation...can anyone tell me what it was- is it static in the air, static on the boat? BTW I finally got the courage to post on here- have been studying these forums profusely since buying a boat a few months ago
