shark fishing

[conco46]

does anyone on this site do any shark fishing?
reason I ask is I have caught a lot of big bull sharks up to 9-10ft
a few reef sharks up to 9ft
a 5-6ft leopard shark in moreton bay and around cape moreton
but I want to find something different like hammer head, mako, tiger, dose anyone know where to go for these sharks?
I sold my 16ft boat but have access to a 14ft tinny, I fish from moreton to tweed
also has many of you caught many sharks in winter?
every shark I have caught is in summer. I hooked a small mako at cape moreton in winter but that's it.

I know a lot of anglers hate sharks and shark fishing, but when im catching a feed of snapper, sweet lip and so on I love having 2 shark rigs out with 4m of 700pnd cable, and when one goes off great fight, big adrenalin, great photos and me and my boy just love sharks.

but any help in areas, seasons, and different types of sharks would be great, im happy to give help in rigs, areas, baits, best times in small or bigger boats with the sharks im hooking consistently. cheers

Hi mate,
As a young fella ( a long time ago) I caught a few Bronze Whalers around the 7-9 ft mark and had a sailing boat cut my line attached to a 12ft tiger doing surface rolls. The whalers were caught at the Hanlon light and South West Rocks off Peel Island on bonito. The tiger was also at the Hanlon Light. My little girl, who is 7 is keen as anything to also go shark fishing. She saw the old photos and did a show and tell at school.

I have the rigs ready to go and the bonito in the freezer. I floated about 10ft off the bottom.

It is good fun and you certainly get a adrenalin rush. I am looking forward to it but I reckon she will crap her self when she sees it.

I am sure there are many ways to get them in the bay but that is what I will be doing.

Good luck.
Cheers Dave

I definitely agree with peel island- although i haven't caught any, i have seen a pro crabber doing the every now and then and the whitewater cause by the fins and tails slahing through the water is something to behold... from where i was looking, there were a couple of very large tigers, whalers and bulls following the boat around. I', sure a large livie under a float anywhere along the southern-western end of peel wouldn't take long to get smashed.

Cheers, pp

on Sunday i had a mako at the back of my boat on the 24s east of the seaway.. had him at the back of the boat for 15mins feeding him a few pilchards If you want to go shark fishing the headland in front of 1770 is ridiculous.. you just need a live spanish mackeral for bait lol.

Mud island with a live squire for bait, the bigger the better....

i caught a few bull sharks in the Logan river few years ago also lost a rod . wasnt watchin went to my car came back where the hell did that go followed by seeing drag marks in the mud and the shark hitting the surface

Drift in between peel and harries with a pillie tree on gangs under a balloon and you will catch heaps of bronze whalers... Have caught a few while curbing for a mackerel in the past..

From now through to Christmas try the end of the north wall of the Gold Coast seaway at night with a run out tide. Use whole Mullet and put 2 baits out unweighted. Doing this you will encounter Whaler Sharks and Hammerheads up to 10 foot.
Happy Hunting!
