Cheers

What is the best technique
What is the best technique and environment to target sharks?
Other than ballooning I don't know how else to really give myself a good chance.
Are you guys getting them in close, slide baiting or kayaking baits out?
Is open sandy beach, off rocks, open patches near reef the most likely ground for them?

I caught a huge bronzy
I caught a huge bronzy unusually close to the river mouth last month on freshly caught squid. Fresh bait, tide and time of day will increase your chances twenty fold in my opinion.
Good luck and have fun

Live bait always works a treat, especially if it is bleeding - injured or panicked fish will attract near by predators. Nothing will refuse a herring and they last well as live bait.
