Sorry i edited this as just seen your landbased

with the white tails, you can throw them out a long way with a good rod and the fish up that way love them - one of the guys on here makes them cant remember who though

Otherwise large metals. 85gram Spanyid Raiders, 70g Halco Twisties.  You can find the Spanyids for <$10 at Kmart & BigW.

If you wanna spend the money, stickbaits with decent cast weight. Plenty to chose from depending on $$$.

X-Rap Magnum (1-3m) 14-16cm model, Raiders, big Twisties, any 65-85g metal jig, leadhead horse hair jigs (55g is the usual size) in any colour (though white seems to be most popular with fisherman... but not always fish!).

I've found the halco laser pro 190s pretty effective at catching macks. Stick to the shallow ones (2m+) if your landbased. The deep divers really need a boat to tow them around.

Mack baits by lively lures are also really good. They are a bit heavier and can be casted a mile out but still have a good action.

Whatever your lure your using a fast retreive speed seems to work better than a slow one.

Edit: The tuna in my profile pic has a laser pro hanging out it's mouth!

 Yer,  the laser pros are good!  black n gold or red and white  I've hooked a few on cliffs with them 

 Thanks everyone guys. I ve already bought some of those. I need just luck now!!! Cheers

get your self a couple " Maurice Riolis" also known as red and white as rapala cd 18s

 The leads heads are the best IMO and you can smash em out and very fast retrieval. I've seen them used at Quobba with great success.

 Having just got back from quobba (report to follow at some stage), these were my observations pertaining to lure 'effectiveness':

1. - Big Johns Quobba Candy in white was most productive for shark macks and also a few small spanish, red heads did work also but would say white was the go to. (John I'll shoot you a PM separate with some more info and you were after some pics as well as I recall?). Also taking cobia to 125 cm on them.

2. Rapala X-raps diving SXR 14 - these were the best of the stick baits/hardbodies by a mile. Depending on ambient light - white/red head worked and blue mulie style (hooked up to plenty of sharkies and the big spanish macks fell to these). Can get these for $20 at some online stores as well as the tacklstore in Australind from memory

3. Stradas from TW. We got a good few shark macks and spanish on the bycatch was awesome. 25 keg cobia fell to a white bibbed strada, on bright greens we manage a thumper coral trout, 

4. Metals- spanyids etc - found generally unproductive but hooked a few fish purely out of the fact that they could reach feeding schools.

5. Soft plastics, poppoers and surface stick baits all proved unproductive for us. But im sure they have their moments.
