if you only want to look at them why not go diving instead you will see heaps of disgusting carpet sharks…any fish bait will catch plenty of carpet sharks and dogfish off the beach…both fight like crap and carpet sharks can be a pain to get off the hook and they twist your trace up and have a terrible smell that is hard to get off your hands..go to an aquarium mate haha
