This photo was sent in by Jandre Fraser. It was a Bronze Whaler Shark caught by a friend of his Chad Bailery on Muizenberg beach in the False Bay Coast.
Bronze Whaler Sharks or Bronzies are not dangerous but will put up a nice fight. They enjoy feeding in the shallow and will often park off in the waves waiting for fish to swim by.
Muizenberg is a great place for shark fishing and there a a couple of species you can catch. An anual shark fishing contest is also held here and lots of sharks are caught.
My prefered method of catching sharks is using a slid rig with a 10oz sand sinker on the end of the line. Than slide out a big fish head and wait for the fun to begin.
Well done Chad !!
