Sharks are now off the menu - official!

The last porbeagle shark to come ashore from the Charisma this year as the quota runs out....
at 150kg, the biggest shark of the trip, gets a helping hand from Edwin from Samways Fish before it makes the long journey to Holland. The year's quota for Porbeagle is 13 tons - all of which has now gone. It is likely that next year there will be a nil quota - more lunacy built into our so called 'conservation' driven quota systema as the quota is in fact a by-catch quota and designed to allow for just that eventuality - whatever the quota, it will, in itelf, not prevent boats catching these big sharks - that's why there's a by-catch quota in the first place! Oh well.
