The Fishlocker 201 Posted September 17, 2019 Report Share Posted September 17, 2019 (edited) Some of you may have already seen this video as it has built up quite a bit of traction online. To set the scene I was fishing on my own - as I often do, on my 16ft Orkney 520. Intended target was porbeagle sharks over a group of reefs and ground. I will let the video tell the rest of the story.... Edited September 17, 2019 by The Fishlocker Spelling error 8 9 Quote Link to post
