Top one is definitely a blind shark. http://australianmuseum.net.au/blind-shark-brachaelurus-waddi-bloch-schneider-1801

All Cowan Creek is such a beautiful piece of water I use it more often than not. I've usually got my wife with me and being able to drop into Akuna Bay for lunch keeps her interested! Anyhow it's been slow the last few weeks but on Easter Saturday my son and I took the boat out quite late around 3pm up to the top of Smiths creek. The Loweys were up there in there "Hey Jude" superyacht and there were other boats everywhere!....however we anchored right up the top end on the edge of a shelf. We were pretty much at low tide at about 6pm. After about an hr nothing. Just about to sack it when the flatties started biting on squid. Never had much success with squid anywhere around Sydney to be honest so surprising....anyhow 6 catches later we ended up with three keepers... In the end a good feed for 3, battered with chips. If anyone's got any other tips/areas for Cowan please advise. cheers

Hi Off to Dangar and Lower Hawkesbury tomorrow for the fist time. Any tips on fishing in the area? I read about "the needles" north of Dangar Island....anyone got info/experience on that? Cheers
