Shark Fishing

Members of the Shark Angling Club of Great Britain (SACGB) including Brigadier John Caunter take to the water with rubby dubby - a fishy mixture - to bait and attract unsuspecting sharks. The SACGB was formed in Looe Cornwall in 1953 by the Brigadier who also served on the District Council. Sharks caught at the time include blue, porbeagle, thresher and mako sharks. The SACGB now operates a catch, tag and release policy.
