Post by: Sharktale on July 05, 2014, 11:59:27 PM: Popular spots are Steep Point and Quobba. Normally with helium balloons and skip baits. Cliffs are high so line gaffs are used. Dangerous fishing in the middle of nowhere. Favourite baits are tailor (shad) or garfish. They usually rig them on 5 x 5/0 or so. Part of the fun is getting them past the big sharks lurking below.
