Skipper David Edwards was in touch today to to report the first blue shark and the first porbeagle we have heard about this year. He is fishing about 8 miles off the Seven Heads (he called in this report from the boat) and drifting towards shore with the southerly winds.
He met the sharks closer to shore than he would have expected for the time of year. So far he has had one blue shark and one small porbeagle and they lost a third larger fish.
David is no stranger to catching sharks early in the season. Last year he caught the first blue shark of the season on May 11th. In 2024 he did the double as well, catching and releasing the first porbeagle of the year on January 10th and the first blue shark of the year on May 24th.
