caught shit loads bloody awful things… they will take anything and at times can be in plague, will be all you will catch sometimes, heaps at kaikoura at times
Carpet Sharks are probably more common then doggies in the outer sounds, I rarely fish that there but they are the main catch off the beach at night for me.
Have caught plenty of them around the 5kg mark at birdlings flat, one night me and a mate did an overnight trip at birdlings flat and were plauged by them, sometimes we got two at once! they are just like big dead weights. Got most of them on large fish baits as they have quite large mouths, they also have a werid smell
