sammy, next time get a mixing bowl of water with a tablespoon or two of vinegar in it, soak bronzies, big schoolies or big gummy fillets for 20 minutes to half hour, then dab it dry with paper towel and cover in flour and dipp in egg, then crumb with crushed down salt and vinegar chips, then shallow fry .guarantee u wont beat it! the vinegar and water gets rid of excess mercury. shauno will be giving u hell for that cook up sammy lol
As an ex Victorian, I am amazed how frowned upon Sharks are in Queensland. No wonder there are so many sharks in Queensland, everyone throws them back 😂. Gummy is definitely the best choice, but nothing wrong with a whaler or reef sharks. One great tip I’ve picked up, is soak the flesh in milk for 24 hours. Gets rid of the smell and makes the meat more tender. Great vid as usual 🤙🏼
I was thinking the same thing we are from Gippsland and just moved to brissy last year, you thro a shark like that back in western port you’ll get the book thrown at you 🤣🤣
Shark tastes great and plenty of them in Qld. Quiet an interesting way to fillet it, great idea really. I find they blunten the knife real quick so I use a steel throughout it. Also I've served it up as 'chicken' nuggets and the kids had no idea! 😂😂
Love this time of year on your channel. Next tailor vid can you give us a quick look at how you’ve got your rod holder set up. Looking forward to more tailor vids mate cheers
Hey mate best thing for shark as soon as soon as you have dispatched it slice its tail off and all its fins and put it head first in the sand to bleed it good and proper.
Soak your shark in milk for 20 minutes. Change milk and resoak the shark for further 20 minutes sammy. Milk draws out the ammonium plus tenderise and add sweetness to the shark. Try it out and let me know your thoughts sammy.
Totally recommend small hammer head shark if you ever catch one. But I use to catch 1 meter bull sharks in Moreton Bay and still pretty damn good. Fantastic in fish curry
Pro tip with the shark do not throw out the belly flaps they are great for homemade fish fingers cut into fingers egg wash and crumb fry in pan with butter and hands down the best fish fingers you will ever have 👌
Great stuff mate, and nice job on grabbing the second rod too haha. I lived on those noodles when i was a student, i reckon thr brisket might have pulled the water temperature down a bit too. I used to drop boiled eggs in them after the noods were cooked for a bit more bulk too
Good on you Sammy, love a good beach sesh. I have been eating shovel nose rays for years and the whole family loves them. I prepare them as nuggets in panko crumbs, it's just moist and tastier chicken really.
mate I had some of the most insane seshs on tailor the past month, more than I've ever seen in my area on the north coast. something about the water temp this year staying consistent seems to have brought literally millions of fish around, most of them undersize but good fun on spinning tackle. I hooked a monster bronzie (maybe even a white pointer) that spooled me clean out behind the back breakers - I hooked it no more than 10m from me at low tide at night but could see its dorsal sticking out of the water as it swam out of the gutter along a sandbank, would've been very near to 9ft. Still haven't managed a jewie but the way the year is turning out I shouldn't have to wait long haha. best of luck with your winter species anyway, if I'm not catching them you will be haha cheers
Jeez that’s pretty crazy about the shark! Lucky you didn’t Wade out further! Hopefully those tailor all get nice and fat and big over the next few months 💪💪
Mark from Nevada a bit aways . Fishing from shore and several rods you need some clip on bells to put near the tip. You might find this helpful. And tie off the fishing pole to another stake. Love watching your videos.
I always keep a shark or 2 for a feed when I’m at sea but to bleed them properly cut the tale off straight away and you won’t get any blood running up the skin.
Such as epic video and I loved every bit of it, I do abit of beach fishing here in North Queensland… we mainly target school mackerel in winter and black tip reef sharks in the summer, but seeing new species that we don’t get up here caught beach fishing was awesome, loved this mate so keep them coming, p.s could you do a beach session on the jewfish by any chance?
Great job Sammy, I had a couple of pommie friends holidaying with us on Russell Island and their daughter wouldn't eat any of the fish we caught, so I got her to try some flake, she didn't leave any for us. It is a great tasting fish, specially in a "Larry" beer batter🤣
Great episode Sammy! Enjoyed it a lot... Same thing happened to me on the beach a month ago almost losing a rod. The outcome was the same. A little shark. Bit of a bummer i gave it away to another bloke on the beach.
Just picked my brand new forester and part of the reason I changed my car was to do exactly that, beach fishing. I've fished many different types of fishing but never beach fishing so I'm really eager to try but little apprehensive coz never did any 4wd etc n little worried I might get bogged..! Awesome video Sam.!
I regularly spin for tailor and have found that for those surecatch knight type lures, adding an extra split ring or two can help decrease the drop rate. Alternatively, switching to a single with kevlar works great and I've had no trouble with teeth or hookup rate.
Do you eat them? We call them bluefish and her in the northeast they taste like absolute shit. They feed on the nastiest bait fish which I believe makes them taste disgusting. People in Florida say they don’t taste that bad so I’m guessing the diet of the fish must mean a lot when it comes to taste.
Yeah mate I have a bit of a system that usually works really well. Just one of those days that trip! And Marcus, our tailor (bluefish) are great eating 👌👌
@@SammyHitzkeFishing one thing I have noticed is the flesh looks the same. It has they grey tent to it. Is it also really soft? If so that’s another reason I don’t like bluefish/Taylor. Over her they are soft, grey and very oily tasting. My friend is a commercial fishermen and sometimes gets them as by catch and he said they only get 1$ 1.25$ a pound if their lucky. That’s how shity tasting they are.
Sammy what's your method for preparing the shark. Both times iv caught shark it has made me really sick.. first one was a very small mako and the second was a small gummy... both tasted absolutely amazing however the following days I had very bad stomach cramps and my butt responded in kind....
Try the self heating instant noodles. No need for a hot water source . Great for the beach. Not as big as that bucket ya have there but pretty good on a cool night.
One thing ive always pondered, for all you surf guys, where do you fall on the parabolic vs fast actions for your rods? Ive come to the conclusion that the faster action and more graphite or carbon heavy rods I get, the further I cast, but I end up ripping the hooks out of the baits more often
I think the fish he drops here is a good example of what not to do. Don't try to skull drag them and don't yank them in when they reach the shore.... you have to play the fish more when using a fast action rod.
You just have to find a rod that’s a nice balance of both. And in all honesty there is probably 2 or 3 fish that I was just trying to rush and flick up the beach which you shouldn’t done, but also tailor love to shake hooks when they jump and fight. I lost just as many early in the fight from that happening 🍻🍻
Great stuff mate. Chewed on some Bronzey a while ago and it was delicious. Well familiar with Gummy having grown up on King Island in Bass STRAIT, but had never tried anything with pointy teeth ha ha.
Loved that beach fishing video Sam it’s the best way to fish. That shark would have been lovely eating. Would circle hooks on your lures work better than trebles? I don’t know.😊
G'day Sammy. Good beach session. Remember a year or so ago, I suggested you try the green eye shark... Same deal, good tucker and too good to waste from a deep drop.
Great video mate. Us Victorians are definitely onto something! Shark is beautiful chew. Considering you haven’t cleaned a shark before that was a magnificent effort. Red stuff on the skin is 🤮
Got a few small whaler or dusky sharks at the port of Bundy a month or so ago and they cooked up awesome planning to go back and try bag a few more soon
Beach fishing is a lot more relatable 😂. Love this style of fishing videos.
Thanks for watching 🍻🍻
Sammy You Are Definitely Super. You Are Clean ,Prosise, Most Of All Very Informative
sammy, next time get a mixing bowl of water with a tablespoon or two of vinegar in it, soak bronzies, big schoolies or big gummy fillets for 20 minutes to half hour, then dab it dry with paper towel and cover in flour and dipp in egg, then crumb with crushed down salt and vinegar chips, then shallow fry .guarantee u wont beat it! the vinegar and water gets rid of excess mercury. shauno will be giving u hell for that cook up sammy lol

This is great, more fish and camp trips! 🙌🙌
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching 🍻🍻🍻
Buy your self a jet boil mate or permanently borrow one of shauno
Hahah sounds like a plan that 👌👌
Shark tastes great and plenty of them in Qld. Quiet an interesting way to fillet it, great idea really. I find they blunten the knife real quick so I use a steel throughout it.
Also I've served it up as 'chicken' nuggets and the kids had no idea! 😂😂
Hahah I bet the kids were none the wiser!
Yeah I thought that was a great idea going from the inside, definitely saves the knifes!
Love this time of year on your channel. Next tailor vid can you give us a quick look at how you’ve got your rod holder set up. Looking forward to more tailor vids mate cheers
That was awesome watching man, so funny that other rod going off while ya chatting to the camera 😂
Yeah mate it was great
The belly flaps are the best bit. Remove them skin them and just roll in flour and garlic powder salt and pepper and fry to golden. Yummmmmmmmmmmm
Yeah I got them off, haven’t tried them yet though 👌👌
@@SammyHitzkeFishing I was watching an old eppisode where you got done by Barracuda. Have you ever tried them as a troll bait for Mackeral
Hey mate best thing for shark as soon as soon as you have dispatched it slice its tail off and all its fins and put it head first in the sand to bleed it good and proper.

Great to see your channel steadily improving and gaining more traction, road to 1m subs here you come!
Appreciate it mate! Will be a long road to 1m but I’m keen 💪💪
Two takeaway words from this one.
“Oops “
“Wow”
And an educational
“and that’s how you get a hook in you”
Cheers
😂😂😂 last thing I needed was another hook in me!
Totally recommend small hammer head shark if you ever catch one. But I use to catch 1 meter bull sharks in Moreton Bay and still pretty damn good. Fantastic in fish curry
Looks like you have a legendary gold Raider!!!
You got to love the whistling line, you know that it's a good one.
Haha bloody oath!

Ohhh yeah great call, brisket and boiled eggs next time 👌💪💪
That was a great video - something different! Loved seeing you have shark🤙😋
favorite youtube channel, bar none
Appreciate it mate!
Good on you Sammy, love a good beach sesh. I have been eating shovel nose rays for years and the whole family loves them. I prepare them as nuggets in panko crumbs, it's just moist and tastier chicken really.
Great video Sammy. Loving the solo beach trip. Do we get to find out the secret to the smoked brisket in the future? Keep up the good work.
Cracker Sammy! Would love to see a few more vids on cleaning and filleting sharks though, no idea where to start either! 😂
Haha I’ll get a bit better at it first! That was my first go 🤷♂️🤷♂️
Always keen for more beach + camping content. great feed that little shark and no bones = win for the family.
Bloody oath mate! They are awesome! Thanks for watching 🍻🍻

Such an Aussie, great fisherman to, 🍻
Enjoyed the video
Thank you master
❤
Ripper of a video mate, nearly did yourself a doozy in that first clip😂
Hahah yeah would have bought the mood down losing a rod that’s for sure!
@@SammyHitzkeFishing not even usain bolt could have gotten there quicker than you did that day 😂
Learning how to make shark fin soup is an skill worth learning. So good.
Yeah? Can’t be that good can it??
Might have to try it one day
Great vid loved it , top effort all night 👍
Mark from Nevada a bit aways . Fishing from shore and several rods you need some clip on bells to put near the tip. You might find this helpful. And tie off the fishing pole to another stake. Love watching your videos.
Yeah bells wouldn’t be loud enough near the surf I don’t reckon, but definitely need to dig the sand spike in better!
Never go wrong with a beach Vid!
Awesome trip keen for more like this sammy
Onya Sammy. Great format, perfectly timed. Ssshhhh about the flake, geez. Cheers.
Hahah thanks mate! Plenty of flake out there for everyone! 😉👌👌
Love catching the little sharks. We love them in my house. Should have kept the liver from the shark. Makes the best crab bait around.
Well there you go! Might have to try that next time! 👌👌
I sound like a broken record but I don't throw a Bronzie back - ever! The BEST fish and chips going - beautiful soft, white meat AND the kids love it.
Yeah I don’t think I will be either now!!
my favorite eating fish here in nz is the spotted smooth hound or gummy shark easy to fillet and tastes great
Same here in England, smoothound and spurdogs, largely overlooked by most anglers as fish for tbe table but really delicious.
Nice one mate! Definitely going to be exploring it more 👌👌
Our colder water does make a difference too mate. 🤟🤟🤟
💪💪💪
Wooh! boss coffee is the best!
I always keep a shark or 2 for a feed when I’m at sea but to bleed them properly cut the tale off straight away and you won’t get any blood running up the skin.
Yeah Righto! I’ll give that a try next time 👍👍
Excellent surf fishing session. Thanks 👍

Always good to watch your videos
Thanks for tuning in mate 🍻
Awesome video mate! Love the camping/ filleting cook up 🍻
Thanks mate!! 🍻🍻
Yup, do more solo beach fish and cook with Alvey reels and rods , good show again : )
Roger that mate 👍👍
Great Day Sammy, looking.forward to tailor season this year
Should be a cracker fingers crossed 🍻🍻
Great timing, just what i was after!
Thanks for watching 🙌🙌

And they are just bloody good eating 👌👌
Gday mate from sunny Queensland , top vid this one , love it , cheers
I have similar thoughts, take some flake home, rather than other fish.
Big Greenbacks love it!!
You and me both mate 💪💪
Great Video Sammy got me thinking I’m not throwing small sharks back anymore mate !
Awesome action!
Great vid good to see some who knows what a good bait is
Good give the big girls what they want 😉😉
Good stuff keep the beach fishing coming!
Thanks mate! 🍻🍻
The beach fishing suits me fine.For the ultimate beach fishing challenge you should try fishing for Swordfish off the beach.
Hahah I really don’t think that one would be possible here. Where swordfish live is about 40km offshore here!
Sammy what's your method for preparing the shark. Both times iv caught shark it has made me really sick.. first one was a very small mako and the second was a small gummy... both tasted absolutely amazing however the following days I had very bad stomach cramps and my butt responded in kind....
Hell yeah more beach fishing please
💪💪
Eaten a fair few bullys from the Logan and Albert rivers always a good feed best part if you have young kids theres no bones so safe to eat
So true mate! They really are proper family food 🍻🍻
Awesome, flake been a goto for years.
Will be mine now as well!
Gummy sharks are next level, I've never tried a bronze before but I have eaten black tip reef shark and they are always good chewing
I’m yet to try a gummy shark! Will have to give it a go now 👌👌
Can u do a video on your rod holder setup on your car, looks mint👌
Anyways .... excellent job Mr. Sammy... beautiful day...and video....ciao
Thanks for watching 🍻
Told ya shark was good 👍🏻
Top episode 👏
Hey mate get a star picket tape to the pipe you’ll be suprised how strong it is and how easy to get into the sand also
👌👌👌 yeah I’ve seen a few systems like that. Certainly looks a lot more sturdy!
@@SammyHitzkeFishing ye definatly are
Best to get ones out of aluminium best if you know someone who knows how to weld
if catch shark and you keep it cut the tail off and gut it like you did because cutting the tail off will bleed really well.
No worries I’ll keep that in mind for next time 👌👌
Awsome catch mate... i love shark so much, maybe its the mexican in me lol, give it a go guys.....
Invest in a drone so you can see and drop the bait pretty much as far as you want. Just a suggestion.
Try the self heating instant noodles. No need for a hot water source . Great for the beach. Not as big as that bucket ya have there but pretty good on a cool night.
Self heating noodles?!?! I didn’t even know that’s a thing! What a time to be alive 💪💪
The ol ABU Toby trick , I came to have one in my tackle box the same way lol
They still work a treat!!
One thing ive always pondered, for all you surf guys, where do you fall on the parabolic vs fast actions for your rods? Ive come to the conclusion that the faster action and more graphite or carbon heavy rods I get, the further I cast, but I end up ripping the hooks out of the baits more often

Hahah yeah no thumb grips for these ones 😂🫣
Gee mate invest in a jetboil they take up bugger all room and woulda made those noodles better 😉👌 nice tailor session too 👍
Haha yeah a few people have said that. Might have to!!
Sammy, you should try some drone fishing for "casting" beyond the trough.
It’s on the list already mate 😉🤫🤫
Loved that beach fishing video Sam it’s the best way to fish. That shark would have been lovely eating. Would circle hooks on your lures work better than trebles? I don’t know.😊
What a catch, magnificent effort that. Trophy that lure before ya loose it 👍
Haha thanks mate 🍻🍻
G'day Sammy. Good beach session. Remember a year or so ago, I suggested you try the green eye shark...
Same deal, good tucker and too good to waste from a deep drop.
Mate I reckon I’m going to have to try a green eye soon! The bronzed opened my eyes! 🍻🍻
Bloody great
Excellent catch and cook sessions👍👍👍
Thanks mate!
Shark looked unreal 👌👌
Gets a big thumbs up from me!!
Gday Sammy it’s Unclr Buck in New York looking forward to another great video
Cheers Mate
Lol picking up on the lingo
Hahah yeah I can imagine there would be a few sayings we use that might stump you a bit! Thanks for watching 🍻🍻🍻
Black-tip best eating shark in qld,was sold in supermarkets until wwf,peta,qld govt told us how endangered they are.
my style of fishing loved it sammy
Thanks for watching!
Educational video mate it opened my eyes to eating sharks.
Give it a whirl mate! Pretty bloody good 👌👌
Great video mate. Us Victorians are definitely onto something! Shark is beautiful chew. Considering you haven’t cleaned a shark before that was a magnificent effort. Red stuff on the skin is 🤮
Hahah I was right!! I was looking at it going if it’s that deep dark red it can’t be good!
Thanks mate 💪💪
I also lost one set of Banax, stingray is the thief. coriks
Great video!!!
Did you ever make a new channel for your catch/clean and cooks??
Got a few small whaler or dusky sharks at the port of Bundy a month or so ago and they cooked up awesome planning to go back and try bag a few more soon
Yeah nice mate 💪💪💪
👍
great stuff Sammy
Thanks mate 🍻🍻
