Report by Bob Shotter 10th July 2009
My four preceding Shark trips had produced just one near miss. This trip however was to make up for it big time even though it was not me that actually made the catch, other than on camera. My good friend Robin ‘Chippy’ Chapman who is getting quite a reputation as a top sharking skipper and can boast seven sharks from the first two trips this season, invited me to join a small group of anglers who had booked the boat for a day sharking out of Penzance. We set up our drift some six miles south of Lands End on a slight sea the sky was over cast and an approaching storm forecast for the next day started to make it’s presence felt as the day went on. A sent trail was set up with the use of a bag of frozen Scads in a couple of laundry baskets, where it was pummeled with a pick axe handle, the four rods were then set up with a mackerel flapper and float and sent out from the boat the first and furthest from the boat set at around sixty feet, in the light tide conditions no sinker weights were used. The seven anglers and I had drawn numbers for a change round every hour this would provide a fair chance for all on board. I drew number one and as fate would have it just after the change over we noticed that the sea birds were not settling on the water. Sure enough moments later rod number one screamed off though only for a short while, had the shark taken and dropped the bait? After a minute that seemed like twenty we saw another run and Chippy struck home the hook and handed the rod to the young lad (Josh) who’s turn it was on the number one rod. After some ten minutes he had brought the shark within sight of the boat which in turn sent it on a deep run. Clearly this was going to be to much for the young inexperienced lad so the skipper took charge of the situation and moments later it was Josh’s dad that was to take over. The estimated weight was at first thought to be around 80 lbs but as the fight went on this increased to 100 lb then as we caught sight of this beautiful creature we could see it was all of that and possibly more. Still the fight was not over and the shark dived again some eight or nine times before Chippy managed to heave it aboard for a quick de hook and photo call before being returned. As stated I did catch the all of the action on film and we have it for you to download in full mpeg DVD quality or you can use the poorer streaming quality should you not want to or have the space to save it on your computer. I would point out that we recommend the use of the VLC media player for m-peg viewing. It’s available free and plays many of the files that you will find windows media player ether struggles with or wont play at all.

Our first film for 2010 was shot on the 9th of April when I joined some old friends today on a trip out of Falmouth aboard Wave Chieftain skippered by Nigel Hodge. We had a hard day on the Pollack but after some fifteen wrecks we were rewarded with a late run of Ling that came on the feed in the evening. The trip was arranged by way of a stag party for Dan Broom who is getting married soon Three of his friends were out for the first time and Two did very well with Perry landing a cracker right at the end. There is film of this which can be downloaded by clicking here for the top quality or click here for streaming video
