Good site this, hope you don't mind a Vic being here?My mate and I were doing it close to 25 years ago,he's now deceased.We were taking shark lines up to 400 or so yards out and in most surf conditions.We fished the 90 mile beach here in Victoria.We ended up mainly targetting smaller sharks,better eating and easier to handle.Boat was 5ft long with the powerhead of a 4hp outboard in it, would jump waves!
