This is really worth watching if you like to fish for bull huss, sharks, tope, smoothounds etc and are interested in their conservation….
Sea Watch UK TV Show: Sharkatag 2009
Andy Ford joins the anglers involved in Sharkatag, an important Sea Anglers Conservation Network event that highlights the need for shark, ray and skate conservation, in this programme exclusive to OnlineFishing.tv .
Andy is joined by Willy Kennedy and Stuart Cornwall, who show him the ropes in his efforts to catch personal best tope to 40lb, bull huss, rays and smoothounds.
The boys are uptiding and downtiding in running tides for some absolutely superb fish on marks up to 50 metres deep aboard the boat ‘Reel Deal’, and of course the fish are all tagged, measured and returned to fight another day.
The anglers show how to fish with peeler crab and mackerel baits usign barbless hooks, while Ian Burrell explains how the commercial fleets have been decimating the ray and shark species populations, and the progress made by the Sharkatag teams in the last few years.
Great fishing as Andy bids for his shark ‘Gran Slam’ and a real education in the need for catch and release fishing and the plight of fish like the tope, which are still not protected by Scottish law.
