[QUOTE="Upside, post: 593069, member: 9866"] 1990. Mate of mine and his parents moved to a town called Howard in Queensland. By memory, 45 minutes inland from Hervey Bay, town nearby called Childers. We were perhaps 15 years old then, loved our fishing. Asked the publican who'd lived in the town his whole life if anyone's ever caught a shark in the town river? Nope was the answer. Not this far inland. Next day we took 2 small game reels and roller tip rods we had to just near the town bridge. We used to go catch mulloway back home, so had small game reels with 50lb line and roller tip rods. Bang. Within an hour, the reel drag screamed!.: caught a 6 foot bull shark . Hour later, a 4 foot white tip reef shark. Considering they were caught so far inland, the locals had no idea sharks were in their swimming river. [/QUOTE]
