20lbs lings but what ever you do DONTgo in the water

had another canny day on jfk two today with davy taking another lovely ling over 20lbs

despite the fog never lifting all day.
but a even bigger problem came in the shape of a huge 8ft long porbeagle shark [estimate 400lbs] pinching two of the anglers plump cods on the way up. almost at the very top.
what a beautiful animal circled the boat a couple of times pinched those 2 fish then off
might have had something to do with a pod of white beaked dolphins showing up a few minutes after that.
had this happen before but a lot of years ago.
so THINK TWICE before you go for a plodge. wouldn't liked to have been in a kayak with that monster about.
the power he tore of the fish would have capsized a yak. food for thought


wreck fishing. reef fishing.north shields boat fishing. ne england. sight seeing. boat hire.
 
interesting day Allan and quite a good point you made especially if you are not expecting it. My sons mates in South Africa actually fish for shark from yaks, a lot do it from jet skis as well
 
Great Stuff Alan ..Its Porbeagle time once again Err wheres my heavy tackle again :eek:
Some nice lings showing up Alan ! could do with one of them in the final comp of the year next week ....nudge nudge wink wink ;)
any little pointers wont go a miss we only have 12lb to beat lol
 
As a kayak fisherman it is bit unnerving to say the least hearing our waters have such substantial preditors in them. How far out were you when you came across the shark?
 
keep a extra eye open

I Trevor we were only about 6 miles off, and there's definitely more of them out there than we imagine. I am sure they pose no real threat.
but even a inquisitive one in a small kayak. would be unnerving
