Thresher Shark Questions

[maquinapescado]

This is my opinion.........

I am against the harvest of threshers on our stretch of coast south of PC. A lot of threshers I see harvested do not appear to be of the age/size of sexual maturity.

The info below on the subject of reproduction is something I have heard and read in the past from other sources.

"Thresher sharks are slow to mature; males reach sexual maturity between seven and 13 years of age and females between eight and 14 years in bigeye threshers. They may live for 20 years or more" (wikipedia.com).

People are gonna do what they want regardless of anyone's opinion. I'm sure it is a difficult trick to land one from a kayak, but You won't get any merit from me for doing so (not that is matters).

Shark fishing is kind of like cat-fishing. If you put food in front of them, they will eat it. They aren't like yellows or WSB where you can have days where you will have every bait in the tank/tackle box in front of them and they just won't go.

Have fun with them while they are here.
