Two sharks have reportedly been caught off the Perth coast within half an hour of each other on the first morning the government's shark kill-zones have been operational. <\/p>\n
Baited hook lines were deployed off Perth beaches on Thursday morning, a week after drum lines were set in the South West about a week ago. <\/p>\n
Channel Ten reporter Aleisha Banner has tweeted that the first shark caught on a drum line was a one-metre tiger shark that was caught and released. <\/p>\n

The drum line is believed to be off Cottesloe beach. <\/p>\n
A second shark, a 2.6 metre tiger shark, was caught on the lines soon after. <\/p>\n
Channel Seven reporter Geof Parry spoke to Radio 6PR as the second shark was hooked. <\/p>\n
He said the shark was \"thrashing around\" and was tangled in ropes. <\/p>\n
Parry said it was possibly \"of size\". <\/p>\n
